Ultrawild by Steve Mushin (Hardback)

Join maverick inventor Steve Mushin as he tackles climate change with anavalanche of mind-bending, scientifically plausible inventions to rewild citiesand save the planet.

Jump into his brain as he designs habitat-printing robot birds andwater-filtering sewer submarines, calculates how far compost cannons can blastseed bombs (over a kilometre), brainstorms biomaterials with scientists andengineers, studies ecosystems and develops a deadly serious plan to transformcities into jungles, rewilding them into carbon-sucking mega-habitats for allspecies, and as fast as possible.

Through marvellously designed and hilarious engineering ideas, Mushin shareshis vision for super-high-tech urban rewilding, covering the science of climatechange, futuristic materials and foods, bio reactors, soil, forest ecosystems,mechanical flight, solar thermal power and working out just how fast we couldactually turn roads into jungles, absorb carbon and reverse climate change.

Developed over seven years, Ultrawild is an optimistic book about creativethinking, science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and the potentialfor massive change. Filled with laugh-out-loud design-ridiculousness, it aims toempower and excite a new generation of designers, scientists, engineers andultra-wild thinkers.

‘If this book does not fire your imagination, nothing will. SteveMushin doesn't hold back when thinking about our green future; humanity needsall the ideas it can get to bring climate change under control, and this book ispacked with them!’ Professor James Renwick, climate scientist
