Product Description:
At present, there are 11,006 species of ant known. They are found throughout the world except at the polar icecaps, and it is estimated that their combined population makes up half the mass of all insects alive today. Ants have figured in fantasy as miniature armies, as models of good behavior, as infiltrating communists, and as creatures on the borderline between the realms of the organic and the machine. Ant experts have been hired to help solve problems with information networks. Ant considers the variety of human responses to ants and their intricate, miniature societies and elucidates the cultural reasons behind our varied reactions to these extraordinary insects.
