| Summary: | The essays collected in this fascinating compendium are very
diverse. They deal with most continents and several time periods.
Their authors represent the fields of history, biology, economics, forestry,
anthropology, sociology, geography, philosophy, and tourism
studies. Their distinctive disciplinary perspectives are illuminating,
but their convergences may be even more so. Whether they focus on
plants or animals, or on South Africa or New Zealand or Britain, and
whether they analyze past introductions or propose strategies for
future management of problem species, nearly all the essays engage
issues of language and classification. |
