Book First Edition
Condition: new. (Hardcover, 2009). 2009 1st edition thus. 8vo (162 x 244mm) Pp424. Colour photographs, maps, bibliography. Laminated boards. A few pages slightly stuck together or slightly abraded, not affecting text, else fine new copy in dust-wrapper. This is an "authoritative and eminently readable book, which revises, expands and updates the author's The Naturalized Animals of the British Isles (1977) [in which] Christopher Lever describes when, where, why, how and by whom the various species of non-native animal now living in the wild in Britain and Ireland were introduced by humans." Lever also examines existing and proposed reintroductions. Sections include; wallabies, grey squirrels, edible dormice, voles, mice and rats, rabbits and hares, shrews, mink, deer, ten species of ducks and geese, seven species of partridge and pheasant, parakeets, terrapins, lizards, aesculapian snakes, eleven species of toads and frogs, including the American Bullfrog, newts, sturgeons, sterlets, seven species of carp and carp relations, catfish, salmon, trout. Feral domestic species. Reintroduced species of mammals and birds. Proposed reintroductions. Ephemeral species; prairie dogs, raccoons, beavers, coypu, hamsters, muskrats, gerbils, porcupines, oriental short-clawed otters, parakeets, lovebirds, budgerigars and others, tilapia, rock and largemouth bass, guppies. Some introductions seem trivial, others potentially disastrous - the American Bullfrog weighs a pound and eats everything in sight, for instance, whilst the famous rose-ringed parakeet of London and the South-East is one of India's worst agricultural pests. An important book which is well worth anyone's time reading. PREVIOUS PRICE £35.00.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This authoritative and eminently readable book relates how the alien vertebrate animals now living in the wild in Britain and Ireland were introduced and naturalized, their status and distribution, and their impact on the local environment. The core of the book describes animals that have been imported deliberately or accidentally and have established populations in the wild, among them the Red-necked Wallaby, Monk Parakeet and African Clawed Toad. There are also sections on feral domesticated species such as feral cats, goats and Reindeer, ephemeral species such as the Canadian Beaver and Mongolian Gerbil, and reintroduced species like the now-thriving Red Kite. Distribution maps show the locations of most of the featured species, and full-colour photographs reveal their amazing diversity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
