| dc.description.abstract | When I first arrived in the Hawaiian Islands on a teaching assignment in 1970 I naively expected to be greeted by a landscape clothed in the native flora. Instead, what I saw as I left the airport was a collage of introduced species which I took to be natives. It was not long before I realized the error (interestingly , one of the first courses I was to teach was entitled "Plants and Animals of Hawaii'', a little surprise for the man fresh off the boat.) Curiously, I had to travel 2,300 miles from my native California to be made aware of something that had so blatantly surrounded me all my life: that human habitations tend to assemble communities of exotic organisms. One look at any neighborhood garden with its many ornamentals should confirm this. | en_US |
