Rezensionen
From the book reviews:
"This is a fascinating collection of 13 popular science-level, short articles on naturally occurring surfaces, some of their outstanding properties, and possible applications in engineered surfaces. ... Each chapter contains a description of the natural surface, the fundamental engineering principles underlying its function, potential engineering applications, and a bibliography. The brief, uniformly presented chapters, with a well-balanced layout of text, images, and basic equations, can be read easily. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. All students and general readers." (J. Lambropoulos, Choice, Vol. 52 (5), January, 2015)
