        Bionics – An Arms Race of the Senses #14

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        Evolution shows that plants and animals have developed ingenious strategies to protect themselves from predators. Predators, however, developed equally sophisticated senses in order to better detect their prey. The development of survival strategies, hence, resembles an »arms race« of evolution. This book demonstrates how highly effective sensory performance for tracking prey and, in turn, more effective »weapons« for warding off enemies have developed. We learn, for example, how bats can orient themselves in the dark while hunting moths and what remarkable techniques moths use to protect themselves from their nocturnal hunters.

        Bionics – Medicine and Cosmetics #15

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        We are constantly looking for new medicines to treat deadly diseases such as cancer, diabetes and strokes. To do this, pharmaceutical researchers rely on ingredients from nature: plants and animals alike are important sources for new pharmaceutical products. The cosmetic industry is also discovering important ingredients in the rainforests. For example, skin creams that are developed from oily fruits, seeds and palm trees or new fragrances created from various orchid species. This book introduces many interesting examples, where nature and its ingredients furthered the invention of medical and cosmetic products.

And so they didn’t spend holiday climbing trees and riding bikes, well, all right, they did, but only a little! But they were thoroughly looking for the film crew and actors, scrambling costumes, making up the plan, arranging placing for shooting and, of course, shooting!   Foreign Rights: books@owlagency.org
