Planet of the Ants: The Hidden Worlds and Extraordinary Lives of Earth's Tiny Conquerors

Now in paperback--this portrait of the world's uncontested six-legged conquerors will open your eyes to the secret societies beneath your feet

Publisher's note: Planet of the Ants was previously published in hardcover as Empire of Ants.

Look inside an anthill, and you'll find drama worthy of a royal court: Just like us, ants grow crops, raise livestock, tend their young and infirm, and make vaccines. And, just like us, ants have a dark side: They wage war, despoil environments, and enslave rivals--but also rebel against their oppressors. Acclaimed biologist Susanne Foitzik, joined by journalist Olaf Fritsche, invites readers deep into her world--in the field and in the lab.
