About This Item
New York: Liveright Publishing/ Norton, 2014. First edition of this work in which Wilson examines what makes human beings supremely different from all other species. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Edward O. Wilson on the title page, who has also drawn a picture of an ant. Fine in a fine dust jacket. A valedictory work What a lively writer Mr. Wilson can be. This two time winner of the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction stands above the crowd of biology writers the way John le Carré stands above spy writers. Hes wise, learned, wicked, vivid, oracular" (Dwight Garner, New York Times Book Review).
