12/3/10 A Good short book about the Exotics War

                                       

                                Science Warriors: The Battle Against Invasive Species

            I read this short and informative book by Sneed B. Collard III in one sitting.  “Science Warriors” focuses mainly on the Brown Tree Snake in Guam, The Fire Ant in Texas and the Melaleuca Tree, in the Everglades and it does introduce several other exotics. The book does give a sense of the extensive time, effort and money that goes into exotic control. In the U.S. we spend more money eliminating exotics than we do on education.
