Readership: Primarily aimed at postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students taking courses in applied ecology, conservation biology and environmental management, although it will also be of relevance and use to established researchers in these fields. A secondary market will exist amongst nature conservation practitioners and invasive species specialists.

"Because information on many aspects of invasive species management is scattered and often in the gray literature, this volume provides a great service by assembling an introduction to almost every relevant topic and a bibliography to aid further exploration. Anyone charged with managing invasions (as well as policymakers and administrators) would benefit greatly from it, simply to get a sense of the breadth of approaches and their limitations." - Quarterly Review of Biology,
"This volume is an excellent starting place for anyone interested in invasive-species management." - Myrmecological News
"Useful and timely...Recommended." - CHOICE
"There are several requirements of a handbook of techniques. There must be a clear explanation of the kinds of problems being faced; the methods used to approach the problems must be set out in a full but concise, logical, and easily comprehensible manner; any weaknesses in the method or difficulties in the interpretation of results need to be assessed. This handbook succeeds on all three counts." - British Ecological Society Bulletin
