Summary

Ants Farm Fungi reveals the fascinating world of leafcutter ants and their sophisticated agricultural practices, a symbiotic relationship with fungi that has thrived for millions of years. These ants, found in tropical ecosystems, don't just gather food; they actively cultivate it. The book explores how these insects have developed complex social structures and intricate communication systems to manage their fungal farms, showcasing a unique example of insect agriculture.

 
 One intriguing fact is that leafcutter ants use specialized techniques, including leaf harvesting and weed control, much like human farmers. The book delves into the biology of both the ants and the fungi, examining their co-evolutionary relationship and the ecological impact of this symbiosis. It presents information in a way that is both scientifically rigorous and accessible, making it suitable for students, researchers, and nature enthusiasts.

 
 The book's approach progresses from an introduction to ants and fungi, to the life cycle of a leafcutter ant colony, and finally to the potential applications of this ant-fungus interaction for sustainable agriculture.

    Francis Key Howard recounts in this book his life as a political prisoner of the United States. He points out that he was held captive at the same location where his grandfather was inspired to write the national anthem about the "land of the free," which makes a very stunning contrast. The sufferings that were imposed on him by the Union forces had the effect of solidifying his determination to resist unjust governmental dictates. (Introduction by Katie Riley)

It includes an exclusive first listen to a story from Desert Oracle: Volume 2.The cult-y field guide to the strange and intriguing secrets of the Mojave—its myths and legends, outcasts and oddballs, flora, fauna, and UFOs—becomes the definitive, oracular book of the desert.For the past five years, Desert Oracle has existed as a quasi-mythical, quarterly periodical available to the very determined only by subscription or at the odd desert-town gas station or the occasional hipster boutique, its canary-yellow-covered, forty-four-page issues handed from one curious desert zealot to the next, word spreading faster than the printers could keep up with. It became a radio show, a podcast, a live performance. Now, for the first time—and including both classic and new, never-before-seen revelations—Desert Oracle is available as an audiobook.Straight out of Joshua Tree, California, Desert Oracle is “The Voice of the Desert”: a field guide to the strange tales, singing sand dunes, sagebrush trails, artists and aliens, authors and oddballs, ghost towns and modern legends, musicians and mystics, scorpions and saguaros, out there in the sand. Desert Oracle is your companion at a roadside diner, around a campfire, in your tent or cabin (or high-rise apartment or suburban living room) as the wind and the coyotes howl outside at night.From journal entries of long-deceased adventurers to stray railroad ad copy, and musings on everything from desert flora, rumored cryptid sightings, and other paranormal phenomena, Ken Layne's Desert Oracle collects the weird and the wonderful of the American Southwest into a single, essential volume.A Macmillan Audio production from MCD Books.
