Bert Hölldobler & E.O. Wilson's "The Superorganism"

I've been reading E.O. Wilson's books for the last 30 years and enjoyed them. This one was OK but not great. The Hölldobler influence probably accounts for it being a bit more of a dry academic read that it would if Wilson was the primary author.

So, while the text is a bit dense and the details beyond the general reader, the pictures are excellent and the accessible information is excellent. I just wish they had cut the book to 2/3 the length and made it more popular and less directed at the academic specialist.
