<p> Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-divisionundergraduates through graduate students, researchers/faculty, landmanagers, policy makers, and interested generalreaders. (Choice, 1 February 2014) <p> Young scientists starting out in this field who read thisbook will not only gain an appreciation of our current state ofknowledge, but, perhaps more importantly, will also learn where ourknowledge is limited and what research questions are prime fortackling. (Biological Conservation, 1 January2014) <p> This is certainly by far still the best introduction tothis important topic around, and those that bought the firstedition should snap this one up also for the increased topicality.The work is also available in various electronic formats, whichshould further encourage its take-up by the current studentgeneration. (Biodivers Conserv, 1 September 2013) <p> Overall, I can fully recommend this book. As the 1stedition, this 2nd edition will be valuable for students,researchers, managers, and anybody else interested in bio- logicalinvasions. It reads very well and is technically well done; Ispotted only few typos. The companion website(www.wiley.com/go/invasionecology) with down- loadable versions ofthe book s figures and tables is also veryuseful. (Basic and Applied Ecology, 1 October2013)
