Description:
The author uses specific representations of ants within the field of entomology from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries to explore the broader role of metaphors in science and their often unpredictable translations. Marking the centenary of the coining "myrmecology" - the study of ants - as a science, this book demonstrates the historical role played by ants as a node where notions of animal, human and automaton intersect
