The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants by Charles S. Elton
This book is a classic of ecological writing, detailing the vast number of species that have been introduced into natural systems, and the negative impacts of these invasions. In spite of the half century plus that has passed since it's publication, this book remains timely and urgent, since very little has been done to improve the situation in the intervening time.
