Bionics means learning from the nature for the development of technology. The science of "bionics" itself is classified into several sections, from materials and structures over procedures and processes until evolution and optimization. Not all these areas, or only a few, are really known in the public and also in scientific literature. This includes the Lotus-effect, converted to the contamination-reduction of fassades and the shark-shed-effect, converted to the resistance-reduction of airplanes. However, there are hundreds of highly interesting examples that contain the transformation of principles of the nature into technology. From the large number of these examples, 250 were selected for the present book according to "prehistory", "early-history", "classic" and "modern time". Most examples are new. Every example includes a printed page in a homogeneous arrangement. The examples from the field "modern time" are joint in blocks corresponding to the sub-disciplines of bionics.

Bionik betreiben bedeutet, von der Natur für die Technik lernen. Die Wissenschaft „Bionik“ lässt sich in mehrere Teilgebiete untergliedern, von Materialien und Strukturen über Verfahren und Abläufe bis zu Evolution und Optimierung. Auf all diesen Gebieten gibt es bereits vielerlei Ansätze. In der Öffentlichkeit - und seltsamerweise auch in den naturwissenschaftlichen Fachdisziplinen - sind aber nur wenige wirklich bekannt. Dazu zählen der Lotus-Effekt, umgesetzt für die Verschmutzungsverminderung von Fassaden, und der Haischuppen-Effekt, umgesetzt für die Widerstandsreduzierung von Flugzeugen. Dabei gibt es aber heute schon hunderte von hochinteressanten Ansätzen, die eine Umsetzung von Naturprinzipien in die Technik zum Inhalt haben. Aus der Fülle dieser Ansätze sind für das vorliegende Buch 250 ausgewählt  nach „Vorgeschichte“, „Frühgeschichte“, „Klassik“ und  „Neuzeit“. Die meisten Beispiele sind neuerer Art. Jedes Beispiel umfasst in gleichartiger Gliederung eine Druckseite. Die Beispiele aus dem Bereich „Neuzeit“ sind in Blocks gegliedert, die den Unterdisziplinen der Bionik entsprechen.
