Van Driesche, Jason and Roy Van Driesche. 2000. Nature out of place: Biological invasions in the global age. Washington: Island Press. ISBN: 1-55963-757-9.

Nature out of place: biological invasions in the global age is an excellent recent book on the importance and impacts of invasions by non-native species around the world. This book is insightful, very readable, and packed with case studies & well-researched information. Dr. Lloyd Loope (USGS/Haleakala Field Station) says that this book "is a worthy analog to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, a vigorous, much-needed wake-up call for American society to the challenges posed by invasions."
