• Biomimicry is innovation inspired by nature. In a society accustomed to dominating or 'improving' nature, this respectful imitation is a radically new approach, a revolution really. Unlike the Industrial Revolution, the Biomimicry Revolution introduces an era based not on what we can extract from nature, but on what we can learn from her.

• There are three types of biomimicry - one is copying form and shape, another is copying a process, like photosynthesis in a leaf, and the third is mimicking at an ecosystem's level, like building a nature-inspired city.

• A estas alturas de nuestra crisis ecológica global, la supervivencia de la humanidad exigirá un cambio fundamental en nuestra actitud hacia la naturaleza: de averiguar cómo podemos dominarla y manipularla a cómo podemos aprender de ella. En este libro brillante y esperanzador, Jay Harman nos muestra hasta qué punto el nuevo campo de la biomímesis ya ha avanzado hacia este objetivo. El pincel del tiburón es una lectura fascinante y alegre, muy necesaria en estos tiempos oscuros.

• Jay Harman is the quintessential biomimic, a principled inventor who sees solutions everywhere he looks in the natural world. And he looks deeply, with the soul of a student. He moves with grace from a world of waving sea kelp to the world of sustainable design, bringing nature's wisdom into the board rooms of global companies, to the design tables of the engineers and designers who make our world. This is more than a business book, more than a memoir, more than a new way to solve global challenges. It's a book about a new way to think.
