This page has a brief biography, a photo of Wilson, and a picture of the book cover of In Search of Nature.

Cultural

This page contains the citation for Wilson's Pulitzer Prize, which he won in 1991 for The Ants. Do you recognize any of the other names there? How would you find out more about them?

Do you like bugs, or do you just squish them? If you'd like to know more about them, visit bugbios.com, an “entomological database of very cool bugs.”

This is the homepage of Harvard's Department of Entomology's Museum of Comparative Zoology, with which Wilson has had a close relationship over the years. There, you can browse historical collections and search a database.

Has reading Wilson's work fostered an interest in researching the field of sociobiology? Well, you should take a look at this directory on the topic at Google.com. Guess whose name is featured prominently?

Bibliographical

“The Biological Basis of Morality” is the title of this essay in etext that Wilson wrote for The Atlantic magazine in 1998.

Wilson gave this interview following the publication of his book, Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge. This page also has a link to the excerpt of the book.

How about some multimedia? Ok then, take a look at this slide show by Wilson about the extinction of ancient forests, given at the U.S. Capitol in 1998.
