The first reprint of a classic title first published in 1990. With a complex social organisation, ants are one of the dominant organisms in the world. They make up 10-15% of the entire animal biomass in most terrestrial environments, turn more soil than earthworms, and are a major predator and scavenger. They are also amongst the most highly social of all animals, with altruistic behaviour, highly developed chemical communication and division of labour. This is the first full look at this diverse group this century, serving both as an introduction and an encyclopaedic reference to the subject. A landmark work.
`...a rare work, the myrmecological publishing event of the half-century...' Mark Ridley, The Times Literary Supplement
Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction.
