BioInspired! So What? Now What!

Zygote Quarterly has obtained an early PDF of Hypernatural: Architecture's New Relationship with Nature by Blaine Brownell and Marc Swackhamer, expected to be released March 31/2015.  If you are interested in reviewing the book for ZQ issue 13 (scheduled for May), please let me know as soon as possible.  We have one reviewer already but could use a few more to help spread the work and provide a diverse perspective.  More information about the book is available at http://hypernatural.net/ and http://www.architectmagazine.com/Technology/book-review-hypernatural-architectures-new-relationship-with-nature_o.aspx.
