Ants the size of baby mice. ANTS!!! THE SIZE OF BABY MICE!!!!! Even if you don't read the whole book, essays "The Superorganism," "The Time Machine," and "The Poetic Species" are well worth your attention.

pretty boring and dense read, sprinkled with weird attributions to colonialism as being a form of wanderlust, and a very strange few paragraphs claiming that socialism is antithetical to environmental conservation. very very white patriarchal view of the environment, would give 0 stars if i could

WONDERFUL prose all about the wonders of the natural world. The last chapter felt a little misplaced because it wasn’t framed around the same wonder. Overall I felt like I learned a lot and felt entranced by how Wilson described the world around him. Would recommend to everyone. Nature lovers will relate and those who don’t identify as nature lovers will be inspired to.
