Ants

This large view of a woodpecker comes from the book »The Ant Collective«. Armin Schieb prepared his years of research on ants in detailed panoramic images. On 128 pages he takes us readers on a journey into the forest. Or as Science journalist Karsten Möbius from MDR says in his book recommendation:

»It's like visiting an alien planet, where you immediately find your way around thanks to the clear and concise instructions and can't get out of being amazed.«

Indeed, we are at eye level with the animals, seeing how ants live, communicate with each other, and what weapons they use against enemies. Through understanding, we come close to Armin Schieb's goal and realize: Ants may be small, but they are animals worth protecting. His book has been published as a large-format illustrated book by Kosmos Verlag. It has since been translated into three other languages and has been published in France, the Czech Republic and Finland.
