Where do camels belong? : the story and science of invasive species / Ken Thompson. by Thompson, Ken, 1954- Greystone Books, [2014] Call #: 578.62 T473w Subjects Biological invasions.   Introduced organisms.   Animals -- Dispersal.   Plants -- Dispersal.   Biogeography -- Climatic factors.   Paleobiogeography.   Biodiversity conservation. ISBN:  9781771640961 (pbk.) 1771640960 (pbk.) Description:  vii, 262 p. : ill., map ; 22 cm Notes:  "Why invasive species aren't all bad."--Cover. Originally published: London : Profile Books, 2014. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-242) and index. Summary:  "In Where Do Camels Belong? Ken Thompson puts forward a fascinating array of narratives on invasive and natural plants and animals to explore what he sees as the crucial question--why only a minority of introduced species succeed, and why so few of them go on to cause trouble. He discusses, too, whether fear of invasive species could be getting in the way of conserving biodiversity, and especially of responding to the threat of climate change. This is a timely, instructive and controversial book that delivers unexpected answers."--From publisher.
