Joachim Offenberg, a myrmecophile researcher at Aarhus University, shares fascinating facts about these tiny creatures so stealthy and stalwart they even endured a ruthless onslaught from his Uncle Preben, who thinks these cannibals, slave drivers and infiltrators of our homes and gardens deserve no better. But why not domesticate ants and join forces with one fourth of the planet s animal biomass? Prepare to befriend a formidable foe.
