Ants come alive on this fabulously illustrated journey into the heart of a bustling colony

Ants share a vibrant and complex communal life and remarkable abilities to communicate with each other. The Ant Collective presents the world of ants as you have never seen it before, using hyperrealistic, computer-generated imagery that shows 3D-like views of activities inside and outside a thriving nest of red wood ants. With chapters on topics ranging from the establishment and construction of the nest to the birth of an ant trail and the relocation of a colony, this one-of-a-kind book brilliantly integrates informative descriptions with the illustrations, drawing on the latest science to reveal the innermost workings of the colony and enabling you to explore the ant collective as if you are there.

  • Features a wealth of naturalistic 3D-like illustrations and schematic infographics
  • Depicts the anatomy of ants, the architecture of their nests, their interactions with the environment and other animals, and their collective social behavior
  • Follows the annual life cycle of the colony
  • Provides an incredible up-close look at ant reproduction, defense, foraging, nesting, division of labor, and more
  • Packed with information about the biology, ecology, and communication skills of these marvelous insects

Recenzijas

"This remarkable scientific study . . . features captivating drawings."---Ron Charles, Washington Post "Beautifully illustrated and easy-to-read."---Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today "Armin Schieb provides us with a detailed examination of the workings of an ant colony, supported by a gallery of computer-generated images that are breathtaking. You will see the intricacies of life in ant society in ways you have never seen before."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "There has never been an ant book anything like The Ant Collective. Schiebs illustrations use 3-D enhancement rendering technology in order to bring the ants into incredibly sharp focus, from the tips of their pretarsus to the slope of their tergite. Schieb doesnt merely tell the reader where ants are going . . . he shows it all in such incredible detail that no review reproduction can do justice to the results."---Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Monthly "Any beekeeper is bound to be interested in this superb graphics-based insight into of the world of ants. . . . Thats how powerful, pleasing and engaging this book is. Its a gem."---Stephen Fleming, Bee Craft

Armin Schieb studied illustration at HAW Hamburg in Germany. He lives and works in Hamburg as a freelance illustrator.
