Reader Reviews
This is a fascinating topic and one of those 'lost stories' that, thanks to this book, is no longer lost. Spear's research is impeccible. Here is my warning: if you want all the gory details about the equipment and the politics and the characters (and you will want to make your own scorecard) then you will love this book (5 stars!). Otherwise, you may find yourself starting to skip some paragraphs, and maybe even some pages, as the bureaucratic skirmishes wax and wane. Overall, Spear has done a good job of weaving together a complicated story and I would recommend this to anyone interested in the control of invasive species or anyone interested in the intersection of science and public policy.
