"Excellent.... From his extensive experience in various aspects of engineering design, including biomimetics, Dr. Burgess is well qualified to write about design in nature."-Alan Linton, former Head of the Department of Microbiology, Bristol University, UK, Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists
"It is a privilege to commend this superb book."-Nigel Jones, MS, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
"Ultimate Engineering sets out a fascinating array of brilliantly engineered features in the human body.... Professor Stuart Burgess, an award-winning design engineer with an outstanding academic and professional reputation, explores all this with great clarity."-Stephen Palmer, former Mansel Talbot Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health, Cardiff University, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London
"This book has assembled a plethora of evidence for design in human biology and has done so in a most persuasive way."-David Galloway, MD, former President, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow
"Packed with extraordinary examples and insights. I thoroughly recommend it."-Colin Garner, Emeritus Professor of Applied Thermodynamics
"Not to be missed."-Steve Laufmann, systems engineer and co-author of Your Designed Body
"Stuart Burgess shows that the engineering of structures and processes in the human body is superior to any achievements of human engineering. Intelligent design is an obvious explanation for all those who are not blinded by the evolution paradigm."-Matti Leisola, bioengineer and winner of the Latsis Prize-ETH Z¼rich
"What happens when an engineer-one who has spent a lifetime designing elegant complex systems-takes on evolutionary biologists who deny that living systems were designed? The answer is this brilliant book."-Casey Luskin, PhD, co-author of Science and Human Origins and Discovering Intelligent Design
"Professor Burgess demonstrates that the shallow, Darwinian logic that humans are either poorly designed or only just good enough to survive just doesn't fit the evidence.... The additional accounts of his own experiences advocating for intelligent design in the UK academic setting are illuminating, adding a personal touch that will surprise many."-Tim Wells, Emeritus Professor of Neuroendocrinology, Cardiff University
"Stuart Burgess has written what will likely become a defining book in the ongoing debate over whether life is the result of purposeful design or an unintended accident.... the book argues powerfully that a design-based perspective can free biological science from materialist restraints and accelerate scientific discovery."-Brian Miller, PhD, complex systems physicist, organizer of the biannual Conference on Engineering in Living Systems
"I can't emphasize enough how this book has deepened my thinking and raised arguments against the established views of evolutionists."-Muhammad Saleem, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
"Finally! An easily accessible and superbly written book from a seasoned professional with stellar credentials, that skewers the (supposedly) 'bad design' arguments of those quack engineers aka evolutionary biologists."-Howard Glicksman, MD, co-author of Your Designed Body
"Takes intelligent design arguments to a new level."-Ola H¶ssjer, Professor, Stockholm University, probability theorist with applications in population genetics, epidemiology, and fine-tuning in biology
