About this title: This book is a work of major importance for the development of environmental and behavioral biology; it covers the classification, evolution, anatomy, physiology, and behavior of the higher social insects--ants, social wasps and bees, and termites. Mr. Wilson reinterprets the knowledge of these insects through the concepts of modern biology, from biochemistry to evolutionary theory and population ecology.

"This text is clearly written and chock-full of useful information about social insects, with a focus on termites, ants and bees. Also discusses other insects in relationship to their social structures. It's a big, heavy book, but very good so far (I'm currently on chapter 3, but have skipped around a bit too). Really gives you a good feel for how insect societies function, at least for me as a pure layman."
