Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Signed on the front free endpaper in blue ink. Uncommon signed. A book that explores the unexpected repercussions of a coyote extermination campaign in Klamath County, Oregon, in 1947--a massive rodent explosion. Ashworth calls it "the Carson Factor" or, as the jacket summarizes it, "Rachel Carson's plea, in *Silent Spring,* for universal 'awareness that we are dealing with life.'" A great example of Carson's influence and another writer in sustained conversation with her (indeed, even the form of the book alludes to her, e.g. the opening line "It might be best to begin with a bit of a fable"). Ashworth has written thirteen books on the environment. Near fine with bumping to lower front corner and a series of small numbers written at bottom of FFEP (likely a bookseller's ill-advised notation); in a very good jacket with some sunning to spine and some small loss to spine crown. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.
