Recenzii

"Fascinating...Aryee's seamless balancing of animal facts and accessible technology writing makes for a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable read."

"Birds and bugs take up nearly a third of this fun, wide-ranging book that reveals dozens of ways humans have developed new techniques and technologies — many of them lifesaving — by observing and mimicking the animal kingdom. That’s hardly the only reason to stop the extinction crisis, but it’s a pretty good one."

"From well-insulated polar bears to tough-headed woodpeckers and tiny tardigrades, animals have lessons to impart, and 30 Animals That Made Us Smarter shares them with a perfect balance of conviviality and scientific research…. The result is a fun book that conveys the wonder of the natural world and explains science in an accessible, creative way."
