Nature gives us ample opportunity to understand and observe her secrets, and scientists and inventors can and do study the characteristics of things in nature to come up with amazing and astonishing technologies and products invented as a result. This new volume provides a sampling of technological issues that have been tackled with the help of biologically inspired engineering, by such things in nature as bionic plants, the lotus leaf, insects and beetles, geckos, bats, spiders, and butterflies. It considers bio-inspired technologies that have been applied in water purification, for business lessons, in healthcare and medicine, and more. This unique volume is an inspiring resource for professionals, researchers, scholars, engineers, and businessmen and businesswomen interested in the latest developments by studying the wonders of natural science.

This story takes place in Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa. It brings together an investigative journalist, an assassin, law enforcement officers and some shady individuals. The characters are all in a race to obtain an incriminating piece of evidence.

In today's corporate climate, where it seems each day brings some new scheme for improving business, it's easy to lose track of what's really important. Survive or Die gets back to basics with engaging stories that allow the animals of Africa to illustrate the most important business concepts you need for success. After all, animals have been around long before humans ever existed-we could learn a thing or two from them about the skills and strategies needed for survival in a hostile environment! From the lions, for example, you'll come to realize that change must be embraced by everyone on your team in order for your business to keep pace and remain viable. From the elephants, you'll see the advantages of discipline and a smaller size in ensuring your business will survive among the aggressive predators out there. Born out of frustration with having to endure endless corporate training sessions-only to get back to the status quo afterwards-Survive or Die offers insights that are vital for anyone wishing to make it in the business world.
