The cutting-edge science of bio-inspiration gives way to architectural and product designs that mimic intricate mechanisms found in nature. In Peter Forbes's engaging book we discover that the spiny fruits of the cocklebur inspired the hook-and-loop fastener known as Velcro; unfolding leaves, insect wings, and space solar panels share similar origami folding patterns; the self-cleaning leaves of the sacred lotus plant have spawned a new industry of self-cleaning surfaces; and cantilever bridges have much in common with bison spines.
As we continue to study nature, bio-inspiration will transform our lives and force us to look at the world in a new way.

Incredibly soft!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I absolutely love this Bedsure blanket! It is incredibly soft right out of the package and feels cozy without being too heavy. The fabric is plush and smooth, making it perfect for lounging on the couch, layering on the bed, or staying warm during chilly nights.

Love this blanket!!!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I absolutely LOVE this blanket!! It is an exact dupe for the “Lola” blanket. One of my friends has one and it feels the same and at just a fraction of the cost! It’s so soft and stretchy. It has such a nice weight to it and is the perfect size. I have already ordered 3 more for gifts this Christmas. I’m surprised this isn’t sold out!

Incredible Dupe
Color: Pink, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I never leave reviews, but I was looking for a dupe blanket for my kiddos after getting a much more expensive brand blanket for myself, and this one is excellent. It’s double-sided so the same mega-soft on each side and cozy but not too heavy. I’m now getting them as Christmas gifts for everybody. A+ purchase

Oh my!!!
Color: Pink, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This is the softest blanket ever! I sleep with it next to my skin and my bigger blanket on top because I so love how soft it is. If they ever make this in a larger size I will definitely get it!!!! LOVE THIS!!!!

Warm, cozy and thick high-quality throw.
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This is thick, non-shedding blanket - and for cold, winter nights… THE BEST. My granddaughters found it to be too warm, but not this grandma! I’m fit, but dang, these super-cold Alaska nights allow me to stay warm and cozy! If you have someone who runs a bit on the colder side, they will love this blanket! It washes beautifully. Great value!
