Ant

Rating:
Summary: More like "Ant As Metaphor"
Review: Whoops! I thought this would be a science book about ants, a little like Wilson's bigger book. Instead it's a look at the different ways humans have described ants to make various arguments, from the admiring description of the ant's industry in Proverbs, to the frightening enlargement of ants in 1950's movies, to the more ironic 'AntZ'.
The book is well-researched and well-designed, but I don't think I'll want to read any more titles in the series, which is apparently about human subjectivity, not animals.
