Viac o knihe
The book explores the alarming phenomenon of invasive species as they spread globally due to human activities. It highlights various examples, such as bird-eating snakes in Hawaii and zebra mussels in U.S. waters, illustrating the disruption these organisms cause to native ecosystems. The narrative emphasizes the growing concern among biologists regarding the "homogenization of the world," suggesting that the greatest threat to biodiversity may stem from the natural movement of species rather than traditional environmental destruction.
