We interrupt the BINA program for a word about some good
reading--in hard copy.

Not long ago Tom Foote wrote of seeing a TV segment about the
Brown Tree Snake's devastation of Guam's birds and the
indications that now the wily snake may have invaded Hawaii.

Tom's posting gives me the occasion to plug a rip-snortingly
good true-life ecological detective tale:
Mark Jaffe's _And No Birds Sing: the Story of an
Ecological Disaster in a Tropical Paradise_ (Simon
& Schuster, c.1994).

And now back to our regular programming. . . .
