Bodies and Enhancement Technology : A Posthumanist Exploration of Somatechnologies
Against the background of debates surrounding the development and application of human enhancement technologies, this book asks how should we apprehend and conceptualise the relations between humans and augmentation technologies.Conceiving of such technologies as somatechnologies - technologies that act on interact with and transform the body - it moves beyond the notion of 'the human' as a generic entity to encapsulate the intimate relations between humans and technologies.Based on interviews with engineers, nurses, surgeons, company representatives and users of enhancement technologies, the author offers case studies of prosthetic and neuromodulation devices to show that at issue is not whether enhancement technologies threaten or improve 'the human', but rather how and which bodies materialise with them, thus shedding light on the relationality and intercorporeality of bodily existence and exploring norms regarding what counts as 'human'. A study of how humans are constituted as bodily beings in relation to technologies, this volume develops the current discussion on human enhancement and will appeal to scholars of the philosophy of technology, the sociology of science and technology and philosophical anthropology.

Coding Care : Towards a Technology for Nature
Coding Care: Towards a Technology for Nature brings together contributions from renowned authors and artists who are particularly concerned with nature and our environment.In doing so, they raise the question of how we can use technology to better understand nature and shape coexistence in a sustainable way - especially in regions that are not yet fully technologized.In this sense, coding should be understood as a form of caring, a substitute for what technology can contribute to the future in each specific cultural and regional context.

Biomimetics : How Lessons From Nature can Transform Technology
An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature.The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems. In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier.He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

What is motion in nature and technology?
Motion in nature refers to the movement of objects or organisms from one place to another. This can include the movement of animals, the flow of water, or the orbit of planets around the sun. In technology, motion refers to the movement of mechanical parts, such as the rotation of gears in a machine or the movement of a robotic arm. Understanding motion in both nature and technology is important for fields such as physics, engineering, and biology, as it allows us to study and manipulate the movement of objects and organisms.

What is the purpose of nature and technology?
The purpose of nature is to provide the essential resources and environment for life to thrive. It offers beauty, sustenance, and balance to the world. Technology, on the other hand, serves to enhance human capabilities, improve efficiency, and solve problems. It is designed to make life easier, more convenient, and to advance human knowledge and understanding of the world. Both nature and technology play crucial roles in the development and sustainability of human life.

Where has technology learned from nature in bridge construction?
Technology has learned from nature in bridge construction by studying the structural integrity and efficiency of natural formations such as tree roots and spider webs. For example, the design of the Millau Viaduct in France was inspired by the way tree roots interlock to create stability in soil. Additionally, the use of biomimicry in bridge construction has led to the development of stronger and more flexible materials that can withstand environmental factors such as wind and earthquakes, ultimately leading to more sustainable and resilient bridge designs.

Last Futures : Nature, Technology and the End of Architecture
In the late 1960s the world was faced with impending disaster: the height of the Cold War, the end of oil, and the decline of great cities throughout the world.Out of this crisis came a new generation of thinkers, designers and engineers who hoped to build a better future, influenced by visions of geodesic domes, walking cities, and a meaningful connection with nature.In this brilliant work of cultural history, architect Douglas Murphy traces the lost archeology of the present-day through the works of thinkers and designers such as Buckminster Fuller, the ecological pioneer Stewart Brand, the Archigram architects who envisioned the Plug-In City in the '60s, as well as co-operatives in Vienna, communes in the Californian desert, and protesters on the streets of Paris.In this mind-bending account of the last avant garde, we see not just the source of our current problems but also some powerful alternative futures.
