Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition brown linen boards with black spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Edward O. Wilson; Introduction: Ants Rule; Acknowledgments; References; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and black-and-white drawings. "Edward O. Wilson, beloved myrmecologist and intrepid explorer, returns with an insightful volume on the diversity and wonders of the world of ants. Tales from the Ant World covers such remarkable ant species as: * Pogonomyrmex badius ("harvester ants"), who, when confronted by fire ants, spritz a spray of alarm pheromones to call for help from their nestmates; *Ocymyrmex ("swift ants"), the fastest ants in the world, who live in the sweltering desert plains of eastern and southern Africa; *Basiceros, the slowest (and dirtiest) ands of them all, who cover themselves in dust and detritus for unrivaled camoflage; * Formica subintegra ("red slavemakers") who raid other ant colonies to steal baby pupae and bring up the captured children as slaves." - from the rear outer jacket. "Edward O. Wilson recalls his lifetime with ants, from his first boyhood encounters in the woods of Alabama to perilous journeys into the Brazilian rainforest. "Ants are the most warlike of all animals, with colony pitted against colony," writes Edward 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 urban backyard, thrillingly relating his nine-decade-long scientific obsession with many of the Earth's more than 15,000 ant species. Animating his scientific observations with illuminating personal stories, Wilson homes in on twenty-five any species to explain how these genetically superior creatures talk, smell, and taste, and more significantly, belong to colonies that fight to determine dominance. Wryly observing that "males are little more than flying sperm missiles" or that ants send their "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 Wilson's 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." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
