Out of Eden

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Alan Burdick examines how globalization is fostering “ecological invasion.” He shows how different species move across the globe—from snakes that ride in the landing gear of airliners to zebra mussels that travel in the ballast water of ships—and crowd out the native organisms they encounter. His book is Out of Eden.

Music: “Oscar and Lucinda” soundtrack, tracks “Prince Rupert’s Drop” and “Sydney Harbor” composed and conducted by Thomas Newman
