Tales from the Ant World

'Ants are the most warlike of all animals, with colony pitted against colony,' writes E.O. Wilson, one of the world's most beloved scientists, 'their clashes dwarf Waterloo and Gettysburg.' In Tales from the Ant World, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Wilson takes us on a myrmecological tour to such far-flung destinations as Mozambique and New Guinea, the Gulf of Mexico's Dauphin Island and even his parent's overgrown backyard, thrillingly relating his nine-decade-long scientific obsession with over 15,000 ant species.
