In Search of Nature Summary

In Search of Nature by Edward O. Wilson

This superb collection of essays brings together a whole range of Wilson's thinking, as he turns his attention to snakes and sharks, ants and hyenas. His stories do not simply tell us about the natural settings, social organization and behaviour ofthese creatures, but they also provide a fascinating insight into human nature and behaviour. Such a collection acts as a highly accessible introduction to the writings of one of the most brilliant scientists of our time.
