Our celebrated brains play a role, but it turns out something else altogether is going on. This fascinating natural history of modern humankind lays out a compelling case for how nature plays an outsized yet largely unsung role in human progress and innovation. From the wildly famous inventor who traveled with a dismembered ear in his suitcase, to why popular music makes us want to dance, Stier's exploration of how various aspects of technology and culture came to be will astonish readers, one revelation after another. At once a paradigm-shaking analysis of humanity's technological history, and a guide map to future human prosperity, \u003ci\u003eBioinspired\u003c\/i\u003e will sweep you up and, ultimately, deposit you somewhere different, before an entirely new horizon. \u003cbr\u003e ure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Cord Stier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643261444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643261447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Timber Press (OR)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.25w x 0.93d","brand":"Samuel Cord Stier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48114103746815,"sku":"9781643261447","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_390e4b13-a439-4789-9844-2b2ff3021751.jpg?v=1769619134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bioinspired-samuel-cord-stier-9781643261447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
