Remainder mark bottom page edges, light edge wear; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Large 8vo 9"-10" tall; 320 pages; " the Rocky Mountain locust suddenly--and mysteriously--vanished. A century later, Jeffrey Lockwood set out to discover why. Unconvinced by the reigning theories, he searched for new evidence in musty books, crumbling maps, and crevassed glaciers, eventually piecing together the elusive answer: A group of early settlers unwittingly destroyed the locust's sanctuaries just as the insect was experiencing a natural population crash. Drawing on historical accounts and modern science, Locust brings to life the cultural, economic, and political forces at work in America in the late-nineteenth century, even as it solves one of the greatest ecological mysteries of our time"

Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality. 8.5 inches tall; 394 pages with Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index, Illustrated. In the nineteenth century, locust swarms ravaged the continent, causing widespread devastation. In 1876, Congress labeled them the biggest obstacle to settling the country. The swarms, spanning from the Dakotas to Texas and California to Iowa, pushed settlers to starvation, prompting the government to engage leading scientists and kickstart entomology. Suddenly, the Rocky Mountain locust vanished mysteriously over the next decades. Jeffrey Lockwood later investigated this disappearance, uncovering that early settlers inadvertently destroyed the locust's habitats during a natural population decline. Combining historical records and modern science, 'Locust' illuminates the cultural, economic, and political landscape of late-nineteenth-century America while unraveling this ecological enigma.
