Riassunto:

This book examines the prominence and costs of species invasion and offers recommendations for improving the scientific basis of policy decisions. It analyzes the factors that shape an invader's progress and reviews the existing strategies for predicting whether a species will become an invader. Moreover, the book considers the difficulties of predicting and measuring an invader species' impact on the environment, with particular attention to the value judgments inherent in such an attempt.
