Description
|
|
|
|
In Earth's four-billion-year history, nature, the ultimate inventor, has solved all of life's problems through evolution. This acclaimed three-part program, winner of an Emmy Award for its elaborate photography, shows how man's most clever engineering solutions have exact counterparts in nature. The first episode, "The Magic of Motion," illustrates how the aerodynamics of animal locomotion have inspired the design of cars, boats, and flying machines. "The Material World" examines natural materials that are tougher than steel and sharper than our finest optics. The concluding segment, "Energy Is the Key," looks at the costs of human mastery of the environment and explores new ways to live on our planet.
