As the 1st edition, this 2nd edition will be valuable for students, researchers, managers, and anybody else interested in bio- logical invasions. It reads very well and is technically well done; I spotted only few typos. The companion website (www.wiley.com/go/invasionecology) with down- loadable versions of the book s figures and tables is also very useful. (Basic and Applied Ecology, 1 October 2013) Show Less
