This landmark work is a thoroughgoing survey of one of the largest and most diverse groups of animals on the planet. Hoelldobler and Wilson review in exhaustive detail virtually all topics in the anatomy, physiology, social organization, ecology, and natural history of the ants.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning authors of The Ants comes this dynamic and visually spectacular portrait of Earth's ultimate superorganism.

Richly illustrated and delightfully written, Journey to the Ants combines autobiography and scientific lore to convey the excitement and pleasure the study of ants can offer. The authors interweave their personal adventures with the social lives of ants, building a remarkable account of these abundant insects' evolutionary achievement.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Bert Hoelldobler and behavioral ecologist Christina Kwapich reveal a universe of behavioral mechanisms whereby invaders known as myrmecophiles break into ant colonies. By decoding ants' sophisticated communication systems, these invaders disguise themselves as friendly, suppress ant aggression, and feast on colony resources.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning authors of The Ants render the extraordinary lives of the social insects in this visually spectacular volume.
