Hawai‘i's Invasive Species
Hawai‘i's Invasive Species describes the causes and consequences of the introduction of invasive alien species of plants and animals to the Hawaiian Islands. Almost a hundred species are covered in detail, illustrating the negative impacts of invasive alien species on human health and quality of life, agriculture, commerce, and the environment.
Anyone interested in the natural world, both Island residents and visitors, will find this compact book filled with interesting —and alarming—information. Written by a team of experts from the Hawaii Biological Survey, Hawai‘i's Invasive Species is an authoritative and accessible account of the problems invasive alien species cause in the islands.
Fully indexed, with a glossary of terms and a concise list of resources for further information, this extensively illustrated guide also introduces the reader to the increasing global problems caused by invasive alien species.
