The U.S. Invasion of Panama: The Truth Behind Operational 'Just Cause'
The Independent Commission of Inquiry on the U.S. Invasion of Panama
$10.00

About this product:
I am sorry so many people were offended by the book, but the truth is the truth. My family lives in Panama- not on a military base- but as Panamanian nationals and they have witnessed these things first hand that the media doesn't cover. Of course the US media is not going to display it's military killing civilians- innocent poor people- they targeted the poorest areas. There are plenty of PANAMANIANS with missing limbs who can tell you all about it. Wake up!

From the supplier: Several Asian logging corporations are infiltrating the Amazon region to utilize its forests as sources of income. This event is expected to promote intensive logging in the surrounding areas. Aside from its huge natural resource base, the Amazon region region is rich in rainforests which are homes to several endangered species. The Asian companies have already acquired territory and exploitation licenses in the heavy forests of the countries around Brazil.

BOOK
An Invasion of (corporate) Locust
Darlene R. Miles
$25.96

About this product:

The Invasion of (corporate) locust has become a real danger to the lives of consumers. This invasion does not come from the sky nor from the ground, or trees. The invasion comes from your computer, your bank, your finance company, your grocer, your retail store, your courtroom, your insurance company, and at times, your employer - and it is not after your fall harvest; it s after the most priceless crop of all: your personal, medical, and financial information.

These locusts are not bugs, aliens, or even strangers. These locusts are unauthorized access to your personal information (invasions) made without your consent. Corporations are invading, storing, and reselling alarming levels of consumer information everyday. Personal information is being captured, traded, and sold, or simply given away by unscrupulous companies who conduct business with each day.

We are all at a disadvantage due to the level of corporate secret assessments used to determine consumer-worthiness. Information used that consumers are not aware of regarding credit, medical records, background information, spending habits, internet behaviors, family, personal, and historical information, among other factors addressed in this book.

You will learn about (corporate) business practices that are affecting your personal and financial success. This book provides the information you need to protect your information, prevent (corporate) consumer identity theft and to save money starting today!

This book identifies how consumer information is at risk, but most importantly, readers will learn that it does not have to be at risk any longer.

This is important information for students to executives that will make a positive impact in the lives of consumers for generations to come!

BOOK
Handbook of Alien Species in Europe (Invading Nature - Springer Series in Invasion Ecology)
Delivering Alien Invasive Species
$120.63

About this product:

Biological invasions by alien (non-native) species are widely recognized as a significant component of human-caused global environmental change and the second most important cause of biodiversity decline. Alien species threaten many European ecosystems and have serious environmental, economic and health impacts. The DAISIE (Delivering Alien Invasive Species Inventories for Europe) project has now brought together all available information on alien species in Europe (terrestrial, aquatic and marine) and from all taxa (fungi, plants, animals). Thus for the first time, an overview and assessment of biological invasions in the Pan-European region is finally possible.

The Handbook of Alien Species in Europe summarises the major findings of this groundbreaking research and addresses the invasion trends, pathways, and both economic as well as ecological impact for eight major taxonomic groups. Approximately 11.000 alien species recorded in Europe are listed, and fact sheets for 100 of the most invasive alien species are included, each with a distribution map and colour illustration.

The book is complemented by a regularly updated internet database providing free additional information. With its highly interdisciplinary approach, DAISIE and its Handbook will be the basis for future scientific investigations as well as management and control of alien invasive species in Europe.

BOOK
Management of Invasive Weeds (Invading Nature - Springer Series in Invasion Ecology)
$109.41

About this product:

Biological invasions are one of the major threats to our native biodiversity. The magnitude of biodiversity losses, land degradation and productivity losses of managed and natural ecosystems due to invasive species is enormous. The ecological and environmental aspects of non-native invasive plants are of great importance to (i) understand ecological principles involved in the management of invasives, (ii) design management strategies, (iii) find effective management solutions for some of the worst invaders, and (iv) frame policies and regulations.

The objectives of this book are to discuss (i) ecological approaches needed to design effective management strategies, (ii) recent progress in management methods and tools, (iii) success and failure of management efforts for some of the worst invaders, and (iv) restoration and conservation of invaded land.

In an effort to achieve these objectives, contributing authors have strived to provide up-to-date information on the management of non-native invasives. Chapters included in the book are peer-reviewed by international experts working in the area. Readers will get a unique perspective on ecological aspects of the management of invasives. The book will be useful to graduate students, researchers, managers and policy makers involved in the management of exotic invasives.

BOOK
Invasion Biology (Oxford Biology)
Mark A. Davis
$96.00

About this product:
With the exception of climate change, biological invasions have probably received more attention during the past ten years than any other ecological topic. Yet this is the first synthetic, single-authored overview of the field since Williamson's 1996 book. Written fifty years after the publication of Elton's pioneering monograph on the subject, Invasion Biology provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the science of biological invasions while also offering new insights and perspectives relating to the processes of introduction, establishment, and spread. The book connects science with application by describing the health, economic, and ecological impacts of invasive species as well as the variety of management strategies developed to mitigate harmful impacts. The author critically evaluates the approaches, findings, and controversies that have characterized invasion biology in recent years, and suggests a variety of future research directions. Carefully balanced to avoid distinct taxonomic, ecosystem, and geographic (both investigator and species) biases, the book addresses a wide range of invasive species (including protists, invertebrates, vertebrates, fungi, and plants) which have been studied in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments throughout the world by investigators equally diverse in their origins.

This accessible and thought-provoking text will be of particular interest to graduate level students and established researchers in the fields of invasion biology, community ecology, conservation biology, and restoration ecology. It will also be of value and use to land managers, policy makers, and other professionals charged with controlling the negative impacts associated with recently arrived species.

BOOK
Conceptual Ecology and Invasion Biology: Reciprocal Approaches to Nature (Invading Nature - Springer Series in Invasion Ecology)
$35.42

About this product:

The conservation threat represented by invasive species is well-known, but the scientific opportunities are underappreciated. Invasion studies have historically been largely directed at the important job of collecting case studies. Invasion biology has matured to the point of being able to incorporating itself into the heart of ecology, and should be viewed as extensions or critical experiments of ecological theory.

In this edited volume, global experts in ecology and evolutionary biology explore how theories in ecology elucidate the invasion processes while also examining how specific invasions informs ecological theory. This reciprocal benefit is highlighted in a number of scales of organization: population, community and biogeographic, while employing example invaders in all major groups of organisms and from a number of regions around the globe. The chapters in this volume utilize many of the cutting edge observational, experimental, analytical and computational methods used in modern ecology. Through merging conceptual ecology and invasion biology we can obtain a better understanding of the invasion process while also developing a better understanding of how ecological systems function.

BOOK
Invasion Ecology
Michael Marchetti
$51.03

About this product:
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of biological invasion by non-native species. Highlighting important research findings associated with each stage of invasion, Invasion Ecology provides an overview of the invasion process from transportation patterns and causes of establishment success to ecological impacts, invader management, and post-invasion evolution.

Increasing awareness of the problems associated with invasion has led to a rapid growth in research into the dynamics of non-native species and their adverse effects on native biota and human economies. This book provides a synthesis of this fast growing field of research, and is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate students in ecology and conservation management.
