Item description from seller

Vintage Pelican First Edition. #A14. Jean-Henri Fabre’s Social Life in the Insect World is a vivid, almost conversational exploration of how insects organise their communities, written with the observational precision that made Fabre one of the great naturalists of the nineteenth century. Drawing on years of patient field study, he describes the cooperative labour of ants, the architectural ingenuity of wasps and bees, and the complex instincts that govern feeding, defence and reproduction. Fabre’s tone is warm, curious and often gently humorous, turning close scientific observation into lively storytelling. The result is a classic portrait of insect societies that reveals how intricate, purposeful and surprisingly relatable their collective behaviour can be.
