Ants: Workers of the World

This book has the most amazing photos!

The spectacular photos were unexpected. They were extremely beautiful. The book made a great gift.

I ordered a book on ants as I was researching that subject. For $25. I wasn’t expecting very much. I was astounded by the very large super high quality book that came. The photographs are amazing. The ants are full page magnified and they look beautiful. It gives one such an appreciation of nature.

As a new ant keeper i found this book was WELL worth the $5 price tag. The photo's were fantastic and the brief description of some of the different ant genus was interesting

The book arrived very quickly and well packaged. I just opened the book. It is filled with amazing photographs of many different ant species. This is a dream come-true for anybody who is fascinated by all creatures big and small that inhabit our blue planet.

My 11 yo son loved learning about ants from watching AntsCanada on YouTube, so we gave him this book as a birthday gift. The photographs show details of ants that I had never even imagined, and the written accompaniment provides a solid overview of the ant world plus some interesting facts (a few new ones that my son didn’t already know from AntsCanada). He would have liked even more details and explanations in the text, but the main focus of this coffee-table book is the photographs which are incredible. A gem for ant, insect, and macro photography lovers.

Incredible photography. Very good information.Gave as a gift to my middle aged daughter - she absolutely loves itSo does my grandson (2nd grader)

It has always seemed to me that there is more aesthetic tomfoolery than is strictly needed for function in nature, but especially in insects. This is the spur in my cosmological certainty and, while I’m sure it’s a fabrication of my, it has made the them endlessly fascinating to me as an artist. However these animals are some of the most difficult to find excellent reference photos of, especially the more irksome ones (anything but butterflies basically). This book is heaven sent for my purposes and for anyone who is taken by the beauty of these little, articulated machines that pop out of eggs hardwired to go. I’ve been hunting insect visual reference for years, amassing an uncommonly large collection for so rare these volume and this book is paramount among them. The text reveals more of the miracles inherent in these creatures, but this is predominantly a visual artifact. Only one example: I’ve been having trouble for months finding clear images revealing the joint mechanics of insect limbs and, while I can’t say this book is the bee’s knees, it certainly is helping me with the ones on ants. If these authors did a book like this on flies and praying mantises my library would be whole. Highly, highly recommended for those who share my peculiarities.

It’s a gift and he likes it.

No esperaba la calidad de las fotos, son impresionantes. Vale la pena para lo que disfrutan la naturaleza y los amantes de las hormigas.

This has amazing macro photography alongside very interesting fact heavy text. It's beautifully presented. I got this for my hugh finctioning autistic 9 year old who currently has a hyper fixation on all things Ants. This has been an adequate source of new knowledge for him. The physical quality of the book is stunning. A beautiful book.

Some of the best macro photography ive seen, paired with lots of details about the ants themselves. Very informative. Must have for any insect lover

Fotografías impactantes! Lo utilizamos para una clase de insectos con niñ@s de preescolar. Una niña nos dijo que ahora tenía una nueva especie de hormiga preferida! Y mi hija comprendió el ciclo de vida de estos increíbles animales.
