Book excerpt: Throughout the nineteenth century, swarms of locusts regularly swept across the continent, turning noon into dusk, demolishing farm communities, and bringing trains to a halt as the crushed bodies of insects greased the rails. In 1876, the U.S. Congress declared the locust "the single greatest impediment to the settlement of the country." From the Dakotas to Texas, from California to Iowa, the swarms pushed thousands of settlers to the brink of starvation, prompting the federal government to enlist some of the greatest scientific minds of the day and thereby jumpstarting the fledgling science of entomology. Over the next few decades, 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.

Book excerpt: Here is a comprehensive resource on the devastating effect of locust outbreaks on crop production along with valuable coverage of traditional as well as new and emerging control and mitigation strategies. Begining with an introduction to and history of locust attacks, the volume describes the deleterious effects of locusts on crops and delves into both traditional and state-of-the art control and management technologies to combat locust outbreaks, including such advanced technologies as geographical information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS) and methods such as employing entomopathogenic fungi as a pest control measure. The book also evaluates how climate change has exacerbated the damage from locusts and the environmental ramifications. The book considers the scientific aspect of the role of pheromones on the reproduction of locusts and discusses the culture of using locusts as a food source in some countries. Topically, the volume also considers the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on locust outbreaks on the world’s economy. This important and unique volume is a highly valuable resource for those working on meeting the challenges of locust invasions and their terrible consequences on crops, societies, and economies.

Book excerpt: The Locusts is the first monograph by photographer and publisher Jesse Lenz. His images transport the reader to rural Ohio where his children run wild in the fields, build forts in the attic, and fall asleep surrounded by lightsabers and superheroes. The microcosmic worlds of plants, insects, animals, and children create a brooding landscape where dichotomies of nature play out in front of his growing family. The backyard becomes a labyrinth of passages as the children experience the cycles of birth and death in the changing seasons. The Locusts depicts a world in which beautiful and terrible things will happen, but offers grace and healing within the brokenness and imperfection of life.

Book excerpt: The horrors of September 11, 2001, continue to haunt America. Even so, from the ashes of that tragedy came biblical signs from God that carry a message intended for the entire world to see. Good News, Babylon takes an in-depth look at prophesies of 9/11 to reveal God's warning to mankind. Using scriptural evidence, Dr. David Randolph studies the two most common signs of 9/11 the Cross of Jesus Christ found in the rubble of the World Trade Center and the image of the devil in the plumes of smoke after the attack to prove the existence of God. Dr. Randolph also draws parallels between 9/11 and ancient Babylon, comparing and contrasting the warning signs given to Babylon with those from 9/11. He then examines the prophesies of Isaiah and Joel, delves into the Mother of Christ Crusade, the Fatima Apparitions, the Mother Cabrini Shrine, and other modern-day phenomena that included the hidden signs of 9/11. With in-depth research and commentary, Good News, Babylon offers a detailed study of 9/11.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “absolutely brilliant, tension-filled tour de force” (Brad Thor) from New York Times bestselling author Terry Hayes, CIA spy Kane confronts an evil that could bring the world to a cataclysmic end. If, like Kane, you’re a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning. Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again—by whatever means necessary. You know when to run, when to hide—and when to shoot. But some places don’t play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane’s experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan meet are such a place—a place where violence is the only way to survive. Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West—but instead he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction. A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 20th Anniversary Retrospective from Miami’s Locust Projects comprehensively documents and celebrates 20 years of ground-breaking contemporary art from the Southeast’s leading alternative art space with a playful and sophisticated graphic design. Locust Projects, the Southeast’s leading alternative art space, documents its first 20 years in The 20th Anniversary Retrospective. The cutting-edge art space offers contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas. Locust’s ethos of encouraging exploration and breaking boundaries has, at times, extended to the very integrity of its physical space (think jackhammered floors). This volume includes a comprehensive visual record of over 150 exhibitions and projects, essays and commentary, a written timeline, and extensive quotes. Included are works by renowned artists such as Daniel Arsham, Hernan Bas, Nathan Carter, Francesa DiMattio, Jim Drain, Jon Pylypchuk, Retna, and Cristina Lei Rodriguez. The book includes text by director Lorie Mertes and board members Steve Lanster and Debra and Dennis Scholl. The innovative book design, like Locust Projects itself, experiments with convention. Visually referencing a calendar, the volume leads readers on a voyage of discovery through the organization’s history, with each year’s images visually bleeding into the next across French-fold pages. The cover’s thin strips of images are details from installation photos. This book will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary art, including artists, art lovers, collectors, students, curators, gallerists, and arts administrators.
