About this title: With the accelerating pace of development and subsequent habitat disruption, the pressures on wildlife populations are greater than they have ever been in our nation's history. As Doug Tallamy has confirmed through extensive research, there is an unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife. When native plant species disappear, or are replaced by alien exotics, the insects disappear, thus impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. Fortunately, there is still time to reverse this alarming trend, and gardeners have the power to make a significant ...

"While I've always been attracted to gardening with native plants, this book provided a rare "Aha!" moment, emphasizing the importance of native plants as the underpinning of local food chains. The style was a bit dense, but still readily readable...and well worth the reading."
"Doug Tallamy was the keynote speaker at last week's annual Native Plants Conference in the high mountains of NC. An entomologist, he's working on detailed research on how bird populations are impacted by the availability of insect larvae on native plants, and how important it is for us to jam-pack surburbia with natives. Good speaker, good book - excellent plant lists at the end."
"If you want to geek out about plants and insects, this book is awesome. Tallamy makes a really compelling case for native plants based on their relationship to herbivorous insects and how important they are to us. It's the kind of thing you never explicitly thought about, but once you've heard it's as though you always knew - it just makes so much sense. He is extreme on the native plants only front, which plant lovers like me will never want to stick to. I've had my own evolution from natives-are-the-coolest, to "equal-opportunity" planter, and now maybe I'll take an affirmative action stance for native plants. Gotta love those bugs!"
