Postscript summary

Spanning animals, plants and microorganisms, this illustrated volume profiles 100 invasive species that have altered the ecosystem of North America, whether introduced deliberately – such as the Chinese tallow tree brought in by Benjamin Franklin for oil and wax but now smothering native plants – or the emerald ash borer, imported in wood products and thought to have killed over 100 million trees.
