From the reviews:

“This book is an important source for invasion biologists. ... all of the chapters are interesting and, as a comprehensive entree into the invasion biology of a remarkable but little known archipelago, Restoring the Oceanic Island Ecosystem is invaluable.” (Daniel Simberloff, Biological Invasions, Vol. 14, 2012)
