For entomologists, amateur or otherwise, and especially for myrmecologists of all stripes, the effort will be rewarded. Written in French and first published in Paris in 1969 and then in English the following year with a clear and readable translation by George Ordish, Remy Chauvin's book is a celebration of myrmecology--the study of ants. It is a curious book. There is no bibliography. The index refers to the great myrmecologists--August H. Forel, William M. Wheeler, Edward O. Wilson and others--simply by their last name! The focus is on the red ants of France and Germany which Chavin studied outside his home for many years; but there is also a wealth of information about other kinds of ants from studies by other scientists. The strength of the book is in the interesting details that Chauvin gives, especially about how he conducted his field research, and in his enthusiastic style. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 216 pages.
