The Attack of the Killer Rhododendrons |
|
Motivated by my fabulous adventures while creating The Curse of the Labrador Duck, I returned to the road to chase down alien invaders in The Attack of the Killer Rhododendrons. Plants and animals introduced to new lands tend to quickly run roughshod over the local ecosystem. Follow along as I investigate species introduced to far-flung locales: rhododendrons destroying old oak forests in Ireland; tea plantations replacing native forests in Sri Lanka; Formosan termites devouring the French Quarter of New Orleans; Barbary macaques teasing tourists in Gibraltar; and eucalyptus trees providing fuel and shelter in Ethiopia. Tales of outrageous travel companions, exotic intestinal diseases, and Scottish wallabies, this book is due on bookstore shelves in March 2012. |
