{"product_id":"tinkering-with-eden-kim-todd-9780393323245","title":"Tinkering with Eden: A Natural History of Exotic Species in America","description":"Mosquitoes in Hawaii, sea lampreys in the Great Lakes, mountain goats in the Olympic Mountains of Washington State--not one of these species is native to the environment in which it now flourishes. Kim Todd's \u003cem\u003eTinkering with Eden\u003c\/em\u003e is a lyrical, brilliantly written history of the introduction of exotic species into the United Sates, and how the well-meaning endeavors of scientists, explorers, and biologists have resulted in ecological catastrophe. Todd's assured voice will haunt her readers, and the stories she tells--such as the druggist who brought starlings to America because he wanted the landscape to feature every bird mentioned by Shakespeare--will forever change how we see our increasingly afflicted landscape and its unanticipated inhabitants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Todd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393323242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393323245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
