As computers and the tasks they perform become increasingly complex, researchers are looking to nature -- as model and as metaphor -- for inspiration. The organization and behavior of biological organisms present scientists with an invitation to reinvent computing for the complex tasks of the future. In Imitation of Life, Nancy Forbes surveys the emerging field of biologically inspired computing, looking at some of the most impressive and influential examples of this fertile synergy.
Forbes points out that the influence of biology on computing goes back to the early days of...

Before the sun could shine again, it rained, and rained, and rained. Darkening my very heart, and causing me great pain. I searched my soul for many years, to repair the damage that was done. Before I saw a rainbow, and could walk into the sun. Are you living your life in fear? Are you over stressed? Were you diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, compulsive thinking disorder, agoraphobia, or panic disorder? If you were, you need to read this story, my story. At times, do you wonder where you came from, who you are, and what is the meaning of life? I sure did. Sometimes our lives spin...

The story of two brilliant nineteenth-century scientists who discovered the electromagnetic field, laying the groundwork for the amazing technological and theoretical breakthroughs of the twentieth century Two of the boldest and most creative scientists of all time were Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879). This is the story of how these two men - separated in age by forty years - discovered the existence of the electromagnetic field and devised a radically new theory which overturned the strictly mechanical view of the world that had prevailed since...
