A Sunday Times Book of the YearA Telegraph Best Science Book of the YearA Waterstones Best Nature Book of the Year

A unique history of plant and animal invaders of the British isles spanning thousands of years of arrivals and escapes, as well as defences mounted and a look to the future.

As Brits we pride ourselves as stoic defenders, boasting a record of resistance dating back to 1066.

Yet, even a cursory examination of the natural world reveals that while interlopers of the human variety may have been kept at bay, our islands have been invaded, conquered and settled by an endless succession of animals, plants, fungi and other alien lifeforms that apparently belong elsewhere. Indeed it's often hard to work out what actually is native, and what is foreign.

From early settlement of our islands, through the Roman and mediaeval period, to the age of exploration and globalisation, today's complement of alien species tells a story about our past.

Do not waste your time
Format: Paperback
Just saying the same things as other authors and trying to make it unique. If you want consistency with industry avoid this book.

wow “Why” had I not seen this sooner
Format: Kindle
I have encountered and read may of T D Jake’s books before but none that before I could even get to the first chapter had me totally hooked that I had to sit it down and think and jot down thoughts. This book even though small is profound, and biblically sound in directing not only the believer but the anointed believer to the throne of GOD . I know I’m going to read it again many times . Thank you Increasing Faith School of Christian Education for recommending.

I can't think of a single reason WHY,you SHOULDN'T get this book IMMEDIATELY!!
Format: Paperback
This profound book about soliciting answers from the Almighty concerning His methods of accomplishing His purpose for a believers life is absolutely eye-opening with its' unique perspective of the very dynamics of the act of asking questions itself!!! Quickly pointing out that asking God"why"is NOT a sign of being faith-less,but moreso a sign of ACKNOWLEDGMENT that Jesus IS effectively in capable command of EVERYTHING!! After this is discussed,the book only gets BETTER,clear through to the last page!!The conclusion Jakes reaches concerning the ultimate PURPOSE and benefit involved IN asking questions of King Jesus is SO profoundly simple and logical,that many a reader will find that they've recieved the very same revelation from King Jesus concerning getting"answers"!!Gods'actual thoughts on BEING questioned BY them whom He CREATED from DIRT are investigated and confirmed through scripture,will cause the believer to consider when asking King Jesus"why?!?"... The segment of this book comparing waiting ON Jesus and having patience IN waiting was EXCELLENT as the Biblical examples used to make his point were undeniable!!!! An inarguably INCREDIBLE book for assisting the troubled and discomfited Christian through the"when,what and WHY"of the Lords"waiting season"....The(scriptually-backed)description of how Lord Jesus "builds"His houses in"reverse"compared to Mans' constructiontecniques was absolutely MIND-BLOWINGLY comforting in its' truth and simplicity!! Having my entire PERSPECTIVE changed about Gods' AMAZING plans for my(formerley bleak)future was an INCREDIBLE experience that came at a time when it was MOST needed!! This is a book worth(TWICE)its' weight in DIAMONDS!! Get this book just AS quickly as you wish to be at PEACE in your musings upon your future in Christ!!
