Bio-invaders<\/em> investigates the rhetoric and realities of exotic, introduced and \u2018alien\u2019 species. The book comprises a number of general essays, exploring and challenging common perceptions about such species, and a series of case studies of specific species in specific contexts. Its geographical coverage ranges from the United Kingdom to New Zealand by way of South Africa, India and Palestine; and the essays cover both historical and recent introductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
