Hi Dennis,
Absolutely superb! Fabulous work!
As a side note, a few years ago at the local Borders Bookstore (alas, now closed,
a victim of online book stores), I had the pleasure of encountering a 732 tome
entitled "The Ants" by Bert Holldobler and Edward O. Wilson.
Written for the serious academic, this exhaustively detailed and richly illustrated work
represented the distillation of just about everything that is known about ants.
It included thousands of anatomical drawings, photographs, a 50 page key to ant
classification, detailed studies of their social organization and so on.
The pleasure in turning the pages of this book, despite it being a book
one would never likely would buy unless one was a myrmecologist, was
that it was not only a celebration of these amazing creatures but at once
a celebration of the human intellect in compiling such a work.
Little wonder that in 1991 it won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non Fiction.
The only professional science work to ever win the prize.
