TALES FROM THE ANT WORLD

Jonathan Hogan has narrated more than a half dozen of Wilson's books, and his wise, grandfatherly voice is the ideal representation for one of the world's most revered scientists and conservationists. Now 91, Wilson is the leading expert in myrmecology--the study of ants--and this brief memoir is one of his most personal works, charting a lifelong passion for one of our most numerous and pervasive forms of life. Hogan is, as always, an engaging narrator, conveying information with ease, clarity, and authority--the very qualities that have made Wilson's books so popular with a wide reading and listening public. After hearing this, you'll have a hard time putting down those kitchen ants. D.A.W. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2020]
