Journey to the Ants

Socialism works. Karl Marx simply chose the wrong kind, — believe Edward Wilson and Bert Hölldobler, who have studied ants their whole lives. And indeed: each ant colony is a superorganism endowed with a strong collective sense. With its help, ants devise clever strategies, defeating predatory wasps and hornets many times their size, build complex paths and tunnels, and adapt the most unfriendly environment to their needs. This book is a complete and vivid guide to the amazing world of ants, which, thanks to their exceptional communication skills, have become one of the most successful species on the planet. Inside — a hundred unique photographs.
