It is a book that does great service to science in general; biology in particular; and, especially the wonderful variety in our planet. You can almost feel the beauty of the living fauna, the insects, and the world that Edward Wilson describes. The book weaves in and out between poetry, science and the environment. The writing is lyrical. What can I say? This book is a joy to read. Read it, and go out and rediscover the world. Review: For love of ants and other animals - This thin little book is very well written and full of the love and wonder E. O. Wilson feels for the natural world which just radiates from his narrative. It is a joy to read not just because it takes readers to Central America, Papua New Guinea, and elsewhere, but also because it makes one think about the value of conservation. It's a call to get us all to think of the world from the tiniest creature, onwards. It is a subtle call to action to protect the incredible planet we inhabit.

Enlightening book
I found this book a very personal view of biodiversity conservation. It was complex, yet understandable. Enjoyed it immensely. I'd recommend it.

Typical Ed Wilson
As all his work, this is excellent. A wonderful insight to a basic, but often missed human attribute. With Dr. Wilson's years of highly productive work and his outstanding literary ability his books are always a pleasure and highly rewarding.

Did I get the right book???
I'm looking forward to reading this. The cover in the picture on the site is very appealing. The picture on the one I got was completely different very generic. To me, the visual art is part of the whole package to enjoy...disappointed

It was described as used with notes written in it, which it is and has, but it is in fantastic condition. Very happy with my choice to buy used over new. Thanks!
