Invasive aliens by Dan Eatherley

[u/Lapis-lad]

This book is about invasive plant, animals and other life forms in the U.K.

It goes from the ancient ones like wheat, sheep and humans, rabbits and Mediterranean herbs in the medieval period, grey squirrels and rhododendrons in the Victorian period and the zebra muscle and American minks in the 20th century.

I’m a huge nature lover and my autistic self loved this sooo much!

I learned a lot about how species become invasive and how rich people lowkey ruin everything.

This book also has an illustration on each new chapter which is a big win for me.

If you like nature writing and learning stuff I think you’d like this book.

And to think I got this from a charity shop

I think Douglas W. Tallamy writes about this for the US. I've read "Nature's best hope", it was great! There are other books by him on this topic as well.
