Where Do Camels Belong? by Ken Thompson
A timely, instructive and controversial book, which delivers unexpected answers.
Thompson makes his case in a lively, readable style, spiced with a healthy dose of sarcasm towards "aliens = bad" fundamentalistsBetter yet, he bolsters his argument with plenty of citations from the scientific literature, which adds welcome heft. -- Bob Holmes * New Scientist *
Lively and punchy...You walk away from this book feeling flushed and a bit bruised. -- James McConnachie * Sunday Times *
Ken Thompson...challenges us to look at the issue dispassionately and logically...a well put together book about the science and the philosophy surrounding invasive species. -- Simon Barnes * Times *
An important and thought provoking book that deserves widespread exposure. At risk of hyperbole, I'd say it is to ecology what Darwin's Origin of Species was to evolution. -- Brian Clegg * popularscience.co.uk *
