Subject:      The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature's Salvation

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Some of you may be interested in my recent review of this book.  It's an important topic, but I fear the author has been fairly incautious, and ignores a lot of evidence. Noting the very positive reviews it's getting in some places, I think it important that there is renewed discussion of the ecological impacts of invasive species before policy is crafted based upon an overly simplistic understanding of the problem.
