100 Alien Invaders exposes one of the greatest threats to the planet
after climate change and overpopulation. Animals and plants are
perfectly harmless in their native areas, but become a menace when they
colonize new territories--often out-competing native species and, in
some instances, drastically affecting the ecology. What's more, it is
humankind that is largely responsible. Some species, such as killer bees
and cane toads, are obvious terrors. Others, such as the water hyacinth,
pose a more insidious threat. Read this book and you'll never look at
house sparrows or hedgehogs in the same way again. 100 Alien Invaders is
a warts-and-all exposé of 100 of the most destructive alien species on
the planet.
