It's heavy on the biology in the middle chapters. If you're specifically interested in the engineering side, you might want to check out Biomimicry in Architecture by Michael Pawlin - each chapter explains a particular concept (e.g., structure, materials, heat management, water treatment, etc) and follows it up with examples. It's also well illustrated throughout.(less)
