Product Information
"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. Animating his scientific observations with illuminating personal stories, Wilson hones in on twenty-five ant species to explain how these genetically superior creatures talk, smell, and taste, and more significantly, how they fight to determine who is dominant. Wryly observing that "males are little more than flying sperm missiles" or that ants send their "little old ladies into battle," Wilson eloquently relays his brushes with fire, army, and leafcutter ants, as well as more exotic species. Among them are the very rare Matabele, Africa's fiercest warrior ants, whose female hunters can carry up to fifteen termites in their jaw (and, as Wilson reports from personal experience, have an incredibly painful stinger); Costa Rica's Basiceros, the slowest of all ants; and New Caledonia's Bull Ants, the most endangered of them all, which Wilson discovered in 2011 after over twenty years of presumed extinction. Richly illustrated throughout with depictions of ant species by Kristen Orr, as well as photos from Wilsons' expeditions throughout the world, Tales from the Ant World is a fascinating, if not occasionally hair-raising, personal account by one of our greatest scientists and a necessary volume for any lover of the natural world.

Reviews
Readers seeking an accessible natural history on an often-misunderstood insect will appreciate Wilson's modest, conversational tone in this brief look at his lifetime of appreciating nature's small wonders., The world-renowned ant expert cleans out his desk, which--no surprise--contains many gems.... Pulitzer Prize-winning author and naturalist Wilson's writing on broader scientific subjects have won him awards and no lack of controversy. Now 90, largely retired from fieldwork and scholarship but an indefatigable writer, he has assembled scraps of autobiography and anecdotes on his favorite insect.... the content and quality of the writing is consistently top-notch., "Praise for Edward O. Wilson"Wilson speaks with a humane eloquence which calls to us all." --Oliver Sacks"In Mr Wilson ants have found not only their Darwin but also their Homer." --The Economist"One of our grand masters of synthesis." --Richard Rhodes"Part epic-inspired adventure story, part philosophy-of-life. . . . part ant life up close, part lyrical hymn to the wonders of earth. . . . yes, all of these." --Margaret Atwood, New York Review of Books, on Anthill", [Wilson] delivers an illuminating work filled with insights into his specialty subject: ants. . . . Wilson's passion for his subject, for the scientific method, and for the natural world comes through clearly in this enjoyable survey., " Praise for Edward O. Wilson "Wilson speaks with a humane eloquence which calls to us all." --Oliver Sacks "In Mr Wilson ants have found not only their Darwin but also their Homer." --The Economist "One of our grand masters of synthesis." --Richard Rhodes "Part epic-inspired adventure story, part philosophy-of-life. . . . part ant life up close, part lyrical hymn to the wonders of earth. . . . yes, all of these." --Margaret Atwood, New York Review of Books, on Anthill "
