"Winner of the PROSE Award in Biological Sciences, Association of American Publishers"

"It is said that science is a process, not just a collection of data, and Tschinkel’s book is a highly entertaining expression of that truism as well as 'the enormous effort it takes to establish a few simple scientific facts.'"---Laurence A. Marschall, Natural History

"This beautifully illustrated, very well-written, and sometimes humorous account of Tschinkel's research life and investigations is well worth a look."---J. M. Gonzalez, Choice

"This is an excellent popular science book and I recommend it highly to biologists of all ages and all levels of experience. Ingenious and enjoyable!"---Andrew Wakeham-Dawson, Entomologists Monthly Magazine

"I would recommend this book to all scientists, but especially to young people, even high school students, as a guide to scientific thinking. Lessons abound."---John Longino, American Entomologist

"Absent Prof. Tschinkel’s castings, appreciation of the complexity and true magnificence of the structures created by ants would be very difficult indeed for even an expert. Which is why we are so fortunate that he has pioneered this technique that he shares with his reader in Ant Architecture, enabling us all to obtain a better understanding of both the structures ants create as well as the lives they live within them."---Johannes E. Riutta, The Well-Read Naturalist

Walter R. Tschinkel is professor emeritus of biological science at Florida State University and a world authority on ant biology. He is the author of The Fire Ants. He lives in Tallahassee, Florida.
