Reviews

Worm Work is sophisticated and full of unexpected analytic insights. Animal studies have in general been preoccupied by big animals and the nineteenth century, so it is important and refreshing to go a little further back in time and down the great chain of being to see how the lower animals have shaped, and been shaped by, cultural standards. --Charlotte Sleigh, author of Six Legs Better: A Cultural History of Myrmecology <br>
