The Battle Against Invasive Species by Sneed Collard III - ESSENTIAL


Collard, Sneed B. III Science Warriors: The Battle against Invasive Species, 48 p. NON-FICTION. Houghton Mifflin, 2008.

EL - ADVISABLE; MS - ESSENTIAL

Sneed Collard takes us through the world of invasive plant and animal species, focusing on fire ants imported to America from South America and the paperbark tree brought from Australia. With only those two focuses, however, he manages to bring perspective to the entire scope of the problems. Though the book is short, it will provide plenty of background information for a student doing research or a teacher looking for inspiration for a unit of study.
