Join maverick inventor Steve Mushin as he tackles climate change with an avalanche of mind-bending and scientifically plausible inventions to rewild cities and save the planet. Jump into his brain as he designs habitat-printing robot birds and water-filtering sewer submarines, calculates how far compost cannons can blast seed bombs (over half a mile), brainstorms biomaterials with scientists and engineers, studies ecosystems, and develops a deadly serious plan for cities of the future. Ultrawild is a tour de force of extreme problem-solving for kids and teens (and anyone else) who love big ideas.
Like a futuristic Where's Waldo for the inner scientist in all of us, Ultrawild is a fantastic read. It manages to be both a dazzling art book and a manifesto for radical thinking, reminding us that solutions to the climate crisis may only come if we allow imagination to guide our understanding of science. Mushin's work is about proving that dreaming outrageously might be the first step toward surviving the future. Read Full Review
