E.O. Wilson is a monster scientist. His book "The Ants" is mind-bogglingly thorough

E.O. Wilson is my hero. More people should study his work for how to approach science. Passion and curiosity got him everywhere.

Well damn. I wasn't expecting to be adding a new book to my reading list as a result of this thread, but y'all's enthusiasm is such that I feel I have to.

"The Ants" isn't casual reading, it's a dense compendium of everything known about ants, covering every known genus and their morphology and behavior. There's a key, too, so you can identify ants based on their morphology, assuming you ever feel like counting antennomeres or tarsal segments.
