The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
Calpurnia Tate is the child all naturalists wish they were as children: endlessly curious, possessing of boundless energy, and most important of all, beginning their explorations of the natural world at an age when the mind has not yet been conditioned to repress questions because they might seem silly or pointless to others.
Anthill
To say that Edward O. Wilson wrote the book on ants is neither to exaggerate nor employ a metaphor; it was written in scholastic partnership with his long-time scientific collaborator Bert Hölldobler, titled "The Ants," and published in 1990. In 1991 it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
