Chlordane to Heptachlor to Dieldrin to Kepone/peanut butter to Mirex to Ferramicide to boiled water-. the course of scientific progress! Readers should know that Dr. Tshinkel in his magisterial Fire Ants book delightfully documents the 'fire ant wars' with all its ups and downs. Also shown are several color photographs of Southwood Plantation. An indispensable book for the shelves of myrme-philes.
Another charming description of scientific research, enhanced with a subtle sense of humor and a Rube Goldberg-esque contraption. Good to know that fire ants, like many critters with a bad reputation, don't deserve it. One should always question such assumptions. Thank you, Dr. Tschinkel
