This immeasurably rich natural treasure trove of materials, tools, techniques, processes and organizations can help to steer the misguided development strategies of us humans, which in addition to extraordinary technical advances also produce extraordinary catastrophic consequential problems, into forward-looking paths capable of living and surviving.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn view of the accumulation of damaged nature by us humans, both of whose existence is inextricably linked, new sustainable development strategies are inevitable. These can only be done with and not against nature. It will be a necessary struggle for survival against the \"masters of humanity\", against their pernicious, political and economic treatment of nature. which affects us all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- The inexhaustible wealth of evolutionary adaptive solutions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- 22 evolutionary principles from fauna and flora\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Operational principles of nature\u003c\/p\u003e - Beyond the exhaustive wealth of technospheric maximum solutions\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Bio-technospheric transformations - 30 workable resolutions \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Konrad Lorenz \"Eight Deadly Sins of Civilized Mankind\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Noam Chomsky's battle against the \"masters of humanity\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As an engineering scientist and bionic scientist, Dr.-Ing.
