The book is divided into chapters that cover various aspects of nature, including plants, animals, and landscapes. Each chapter includes illustrations and examples of how designers have incorporated natural motifs into their work. Day also discusses the importance of craftsmanship and the role of the designer in the creation of beautiful and functional objects.
