I highly recommend this book on the leaf-cutting by the famous Bert Hoelldobler and EO Wilson:

Enjoy!

I think that depends on how you're defining learn. You'll certainly learn interesting facts about ants that you didn't know, but it's not a textbook like Superorganism/The Ants. However, it's probably my favorite or a close second out of the books listed above, and you really can't go wrong with Wilson and Holldobler. They're really the gods of ant research, and if you're interested in ants you should probably just read everything they've written related to ants.

I just realized that I forgot this:

http://www.amazon.com/Leafcutter-Ants-Civilization-Instinct/dp/0393338681/

which may be my favorite, since leafcutter ants are my favorite ants. If you have to choose between this and Journy, perhaps take Journey first because it covers a wider range of ants than the narrow Leafcutter book.
