Aliens From Earth is an intriguing introduction to the serious and ongoing environmental problems caused by invasive plant and animal species. Describing various examplesÃfrom the accidental release of the gypsy moth into the United States to the deliberate introduction of rabbits to AustraliaÃthe text shows how these foreign intrusions have disturbed the delicate balance of local ecosystems. At the end of the book, the author offers readers a list of things they can do to minimize their own impact on local environments.
