Very interesting and fun to read! Ends up being more about "the ways to deal with wild animals" than about people suing crickets for the destruction caused to their crops. Coexistence is not only the best way to deal with these animal hazards but, apparently, the only one that shows good results.
The book draws itself out a bit lo ger than I'd like, but it might be cause I read the e-book version.

I don't think this is Roach's best work, but there's still a lot of really interesting tidbits about the ways that humans are constantly trying to live with/near nature and how our attitudes of "managing wildlife" has changed in the past century and how it's likely to change in the next century. An interesting read overall.
