Engineering Animals: How Life Works and the Principles of Biological Design

"Engineering Animals: How Life Works is a seminal exploration by Mark Denny and Alan McFadzean that analyzes biological organisms through the lens of mechanical and electrical engineering. By applying the laws of physics and chemistry, the authors demonstrate how evolutionary processes "engineer" animals to optimize flight, structural integrity, and fluid transport within strict environmental constraints. The Evolutionary Workshop: Nature as a Constraint-Based Engineer In the study of biological systems, it is common to view evolution as a creative force. However, when viewed through the engineering perspective presented by Denny and McFadzean..."
