Marais, translated by Winifred De Kok, is a pioneering study of termite life, written with the insight of a naturalist & the eye of a poet. Marais explores the structure, labour, instincts, & social order of the white ant colony, presenting observations that remain striking for their vivid detail & imaginative reach. Both scientific & literary, the book offers a fascinating window into early ecological thinking & the hidden world beneath our feet. It is an enduring classic for readers interested in nature, behaviour, anthropology, & unusual twentieth-century non-fiction today, too.; Octavo.
