Reviews
From the reviews:
"In this volume, Fred Kraus offers the definitive literature-based treatment of the subject. Kraus' opus will be of great interest to a wide range of scientists, land managers, and policy makers..." (Herpetological Review, 2011, 42(2), 306-309)
"This volume is the first to truly analyze the effects of herpetological invasions. The detail and phenomenally exhaustive survey of an ever-growing literature are impressive, and....should be required reading for every herpetologist." (IRCF Reptiles and Amphibians, Vol.16 (3), September, 2009)
"This is a comprehensive treatise on invasives, a problem which has captured the attention of ecologists just as the issues of endangered species and extinction probability did a generation ago. … the text is eminently readable and instructive, with extensive documentation of the impact and clear guidance for future management to prevent, detect, and control invasions. … includes more than 4, 000 references. Summing Up: Recommended. All collections." (J. Burger, Choice, Vol. 46 (11), July, 2009)
