A newly annotated and illustrated edition of Eric Rolls' classic on introduced species and the plagues they have caused. Some of the early settlers lamented the fact that "Australia had no animal fit for a gentleman to hunt" so as well as the livestock they needed for survival, some of which escaped domesticity and ran wild in extraordinary numbers, the new settlers brought rabbits, hares, foxes, trout, carp, sparrows, starlings, and many others for different reasons. The nature of the land was changed forever. Excellently written and rich in historical and scientific detail. The rabbit had such a profound and long-lasting effect that the first section is given over entirely to its introduction, profusion and attempts at its eradication.
