Cats' Paws and Catapults: Mechanical Worlds of Nature and People Paperback - 1998
by Steven Vogel; Kathryn K. Davis (Illustrator)
Nature and humans build their devices with the same earthly materials. Why do their designs diverge so sharply? Vogel compares these two worlds and introduces the reader to his field of biomechanics, explaining how the nexus of physical law, size, and convenience of construction determines the designs of both people and nature. Illustrations.
First line
When some of us were much younger-for me the late 1940s-we read Flash Gordon every Sunday in the comics.
