During the last tense moments before the demise of Earth, did those fleeing imminent destruction make it to Oolaha? As our heroic survivors learn to navigate Baby and Echo's home planet they must cope with the heartwrenching loss of family and loved ones as they are immersed in the adoring affection of thousands of minions. One Elder will be responsible for a host of tragic deaths due to the human folly of jealousy and revenge. Will this lead to the final death knell of the species called Homo sapiens? Or will the Womb forgive once again? When Aliens Weep is the seventh book in the Alien Species Intervention #6609 Series, an alien apocalyptic saga spanning 200 years from the Prohibition to the distant future. It encompasses tender love between divergent species, political downfalls and acts of unspeakable violence. When you think you've figured it out . . . WHAM! You won't see it coming. Thriller, horror, science fiction and fantasy all in one, the series is a gripping psychological exploration of how the inherent greed and evil of man is dooming planet Earth and its inhabitants. Warning: Alien Species Intervention #6609 contains violence that a sensitive reader may find confronting.

Jedes Jahr breiten sich invasive gebietsfremde Arten in neue Ökosysteme aus. Die von den Eindringlingen verursachten Auswirkungen können sich in kürzester Zeit bemerkbar machen und verheerend sein. Das Thema der invasiven gebietsfremden Arten ist umfassend, komplex und auf verschiedenen Ebenen von globaler Bedeutung. Verschärft wird es durch die Globalisierung der Weltwirtschaft und den zunehmenden Handel, durch den die natürlichen Barrieren für den Transfer von Arten durchbrochen werden. Invasive gebietsfremde Arten bedrohen die weltweite Nahrungsmittelversorgung, die Qualität und Verfügbarkeit von Trinkwasser sowie die Stromproduktion und -versorgung. Zusammen mit den zusätzlichen Risiken durch den globalen Klimawandel ist die weltweite Homogenisierung von Pflanzen, Tieren und Mikroben ein wesentlicher Faktor für den sich verschlechternden Gesundheitszustand der Ökosysteme und die nachlassenden Ökosystemdienstleistungen überall auf der Welt. Um dieser Entwicklung entgegenzuwirken, besteht die dringende Notwendigkeit einer einheitlichen Ausrichtung von Regierungen, Kulturen und Programmen und einer besseren grenzüberschreitenden Koordination. Nur so lassen sich die vielfältigen Bedrohungen durch invasive gebietsfremde Arten für die Umwelt, die Wirtschaft und die Gesundheit von Pflanzen und Tieren sowie insbesondere die menschliche Gesundheit effektiv bekämpfen. Dieses vierbändige Werk ist das erste, das einen umfassenden Satz nützlicher Materialien zu den zentralen Themen bereitstellt, um die gesamte globale Bedrohung durch invasive gebietsfremde Arten sowie die vielfältigen Probleme in verschiedenen Teilen der Welt deutlich zu machen, und es enthält Material, in dem potenziell replizierbare Lösungen zur Überwindung dieser Bedrohungen aufgezeigt werden. Das Werk betont die Bedrohung durch invasive gebietsfremde Arten auch im Sinne eines globalen ?Aufrufs zum Handeln?. Invasive Arten kennen keine Grenzen. Daher hoffen wir, dass wir durch die Zusammenstellung von Material, das unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Standpunkte aus aller Welt berücksichtigt, sowie durch die Vermittlung von Erkenntnissen und Beispielen zu einer Vielzahl damit zusammenhängender Themen das globale Bewusstsein stärken und einheitliche nationale Reaktionen auf die Bedrohung durch invasive gebietsfremde Arten fördern können.

Have you ever wondered if aliens are watching us? Do you believe in UFOs? Many people believe that aliens have visited our planet and that alien bases exist beneath our seas, lakes and various secret places on land. But what do you think would happen if the human race declared a world-wide nuclear war? Do you think that the aliens would step in and take over the world? This book is about such a scenario that might happen. How do you think people would react to such an event? This novel tells of such a possibility. This novel is unique in its portrayal of the Earth being taken over by two races of aliens who have lived together in peace and watched our planet's progress for thousands of years. They are the Greys and the Anunnaki. Once you have read this novel, you will see that the scenario explained could be a possible reality in such an event of a nuclear war between humans. Since 1945 when the 'A' Bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, there has been a massive increase of alien sightings and reported abductions. Could this be a build-up to a possible world takeover by the alien races who are watching our planet? Have you seen a UFO? Thousands of people have and all of these are from reputable people. The Earth has evidence of past ancient alien help scattered all over our planet in the form or lost cities and ruins that no one can really and truly explain how they were built. Only alien technology could have been responsible for such structures, but why did the aliens go into hiding and stop helping the human race? These and other questions will be attempted to be answered within the pages of this novel. When you have read this book, it is then up to you to decide if you think what I have portrayed in this book could be a possible outcome of an alien takeover. I have used a positive scenario, but it could very easily be the other way and total extinction to the human race by the aliens that plague our planet. What differences do you think the aliens would make if they decided to join us and help us live in peace all over the world? What would we do about money, work situations, country leaders positions and many other major issues? Our lives would change completely. I have tried to suggest in this book some of the possibilities and how the aliens would deal with those who wouldn't comply to their ruling. I am planning a sequel to this book for around the end of this year, 2015. I hope you will all enjoy this novel, it will certainly leave you thinking... I would ask all readers to give their feedback after reading the book, as it helps others who are considering buying this book. You will not be able to put it down... I also have other books on Amazon Kindle. I wish you happy and enjoyable reading. Keith Argyle (Author).

The consequences of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species in non-native ecosystems is an area of growing interest for international policymakers and regulators. Globalisation has increased the rate and magnitude of biological invasions, resulting in huge environmental, economic and social costs. Until recently, the effectiveness of international efforts to provide a coordinated response to the threat of alien invasions have been limited. This book considers the existing Multilateral Environmental Agreements and looks at the potential role of regional environmental governance, particularly in consideration of the adoption of the European Parliament and Council regulation 1143/2014 on the management and control of invasive species, to provide an effective response to this global threat.

Invasive species are among the greatest challenges to environmental sustainability and agricultural productivity in the world. One of the most promising approaches to managing invasive species is voluntary citizen stewardship. However, in order for control measures to be effective, private citizens often need to make sustained and sometimes burdensome commitments. Community-Based Control of Invasive Species is based on five years of research by leading scholars in natural resource and human behavioural sciences, which involved government and citizen groups in Australia and the United States. It examines questions including, 'how can citizens be engaged in voluntarily managing invasive species?', 'what communication strategies will ensure good motivation and coordination?' and 'how can governing bodies support citizens in their efforts?'. With chapters on institutional frameworks, changing governance, systems thinking, organisational learning, engagement, communication and behavioural change, this book will be a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners involved in natural resources management.
