Twenty-four essays explore the deep and complex connections between nature and people. Concentrating on cultures of habitat--human communities with long histories of interacting with one particular kind of terrain and its wildlife--the author considers such topics as the correlation between upheavals in human communities and the incidence of endangered species, the perils of monoculture in the Tequila fields of Mexico, and the nature of aggression and the struggle for limited resources.

Plant invasions refer to those instances in which plants arrive in a new area and spread, proliferate, and exert environmental and usually economic damage in the new range. The purpose of the Tucson conference was to explore cooperative approaches for controlling invasive plant species. This international conference was attended by representatives of United States, Canada, and Mexico. The conference program was divided into these three subject areas: international perspective; invasive plant problems and management techniques; and policy discussions and recommendations.
