In a new series in plant conservation sponsored by the World Wide
Fund for Nature (WWF), this book is a practical guide to a subject
of increasing concern to the conservation biologist. As with each
of the books in the series, this book aims to give an authoritative
guide to the subject in a clear, jargon-free style. It should
therefore not only be of interest to the academic biologist
interested in the phenomenon of invasion, but also to government
and non-governmental personnel involved in the decision-making
process needed as a result of the problems encountered with
invasive species. Case-studies highlight specific problems from a
wide range of countries, including North America, South and Central
America, Africa, Australasia, South and South East Asia, Europe,
the Pacific and Atlantic Islands and Indonesia. The book contains
an appendix with a list of invasive species and their countries of
origin. A bibliography contains reference to all cited articles and
books. This book should be of interest to conservation biologists,
economic botanists, ethnobotanists, plant ecologists,
agriculturalists, those interested in development problems,
geographers, environmental scientists, ecotourists and "green" lay
people.
