Invasive and Introduced Plants and Animals: Human Perceptions, Attitudes and Approaches to Management

A series of 24 papers tackling the hot potato subject of non-native species on a worldwide scale. Familiar as we are with Grey Squirrels, parakeets and Muntjac Deer, the topics covered here take a much wider perspective and help put the UK’s non-native species (and our attitudes towards them) into context. The book is spilt into four main sections; setting the scene, attitudes and perceptions, case studies and case histories and, finally, the way ahead. Sadly the price may put a lot of people off buying the book, but anyone working in ecology or conservation and who has to deal with non-native species should read this.
