Download The Aliens Among Us: How Invasive Species Are Transforming the Planet - and Ourselves AudioBook Free
From an award-winning trip and knowledge journalist comes an eye-opening exploration of a burgeoning environmental trend and the knowledge coalescing around it. Leslie Anthony leads listeners on ventures physical and philosophical as he explores how and just why invasive species are hijacking ecosystems around the world. Weaving knowledge, travel, background, and humor with diverse instances to graph and illustrate the stages of species invasion and real human response, Anthony presents field analysts and professionals who seek to understand the biological, communal, and economic areas of this complex issue, and whose work collectively implies the introduction of a worldwide shadow economy devoted to invasives. With tales of pythons in the Everglades, Asian carp and lamprey in the fantastic Lakes, Japanese knotweed apparently all over the place, and the intrusive organisms we don't see - pathogens and microbes such as the Zika computer virus - this e book rivets attention on a fresh ecological reality.
