“Insect Architecture” takes you inside the amazing structures that insects build, from the paper galleries of yellow jacket wasps to elaborate termite mounds complete with royal chambers and air-conditioning systems.

Each chapter focuses on a group of insect architects, describing the materials and methods they use while exploring the structures themselves in detail.

Blending spectacular illustrations with illuminating case studies of representative species from around the world, this is the ultimate guide to insect artistry and innovation.

Mainstream theories of the brain are often expressed through engineering concepts—computation, code, control, reverse-engineering, optimization. 

These theories cast the living organism as a machine and the brain as a computer. 

The fact that cognition is a biological phenomenon seems merely anecdotal; biology is considered just “implementation.” 

In “The Brain, In Theory,” Romain Brette argues that the brain is not a “biological computer” because living organisms are not engineered.
