Grasshopper Dreaming
Author: Lockwood, Jeffrey
"Grasshoppers, unnoticed, sculpt the prairie, prune poisonous weeds, compost dead plants, and feed the birds. And with each passing year, the quiet chorus of their lives becomes more deeply instilled in my being, while the rousing refrains of their sporadic outbreaks continue to draw the attention of government agencies. Taking life, like giving life, can be a sacred act. Indigenous peoples asked permission or forgiveness of the animals they hunted, and perhaps modern agriculture should act with such humility and grace when killing is necessary. Following the lead of native people, agriculturalists would do well to understand that the land is shared with other creatures and that their needs are worthy of our understanding." - from Grasshopper Dreaming These essays, sometimes painful, occasionally funny, and invariably complex, explore the competing perspectives of religion and modern science. The author is a professor of entomology at the University of Wyoming and specializes in the ecology and management of rangeland grasshoppers. |
