Animal Architecture
Preface by Jim Brandenburg
Over a period of two years, Ingo Arndt travels around the world in pursuit of his motifs. He takes pictures of the mounds, up to two meters tall, created by tiny wood
ants in their indigenous woodlands as well as the colorfully decorated mating arenas of
bowerbirds in West Papua; he presents enormous beaver dams in North America or
previously unknown termite fields in Australia. Besides their dwellings, the different animals, the builders, are shown. Interesting information about biology and numerous fascinating stories about animal architects, including their applied construction principles and tricks feature beneath the stunning phtography. Did you know, that when spiders make their webs they adhere to genetically determined blueprints? Or that compass termites align their mounds exactly with the position of the sun? The book surprise with answers to these and other questions.
