In Tales from the Ant World two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O. Wilson takes us on a
thrilling myrmecological tour across continents and through time inviting us into his
decades-long scientific obsession with ants. Animating his observations with personal stories
Wilson hones in on twenty-five ant species to explain how these creatures talk smell taste
and crucially how they fight to determine dominance. Richly illustrated throughout with
depictions of ant species and photos from Wilson's own expeditions Tales from the Ant World is
a fascinating personal account from one of our greatest scientists-and a necessary volume for
any lover of the natural world.
