Tunbridge Wells: Wayte, 1984. 155, b/w photos. . HB. Vg in d/w (minor fading to the spine of d/w). Signed by the author on title-page.. 1st edition. Thomas A. M. Nash, Thomas (1905–1993) was a British entomologist known for his work on tsetse flies. In 1927 he was employed by the Colonial Office to investigate aspects of the biology of tsetse flies, the vectors of the trypanosomes which cause sleeping sickness in humans, and a related disease of domestic livestock in much of tropical Africa. From 1937 to 1944 he was in charge of the Anchau rural development and settlement scheme, where he was able to put to practical use his research findings on the effectiveness of partial clearing of vegetation forming the flies' habitat as a method of tsetse control. He demonstrated that tsetse control, combined with development of the rural economy, could result in freedom from human and animal trypanosomiasis and an improvement in general health and living conditions. In 1962 Nash founded the Tsetse Research Laboratory located on the Langford site of the veterinary school of the University of Bristol. He was a research fellow of the university and director of the laboratory. (ODNB)The present book, A Zoo without Bars, is a lighthearted look at his life in the East African wilderness in 1927–32..
