There’s always more to the story than we think.
Living things can travel naturally, sometimes thousands of miles, to new regions and even different continents. In fact, these “invasions” are an essential part of the history of life on Planet Earth. But humans have also been moving plants, animals and other organisms around, whether by accident or on purpose, for thousands of years. We’re the all-star vector for non-native species. We’re also the planet’s most invasive species!

Everybody does it, but no one wants to talk about it.
Why do we die? Why can’t we live forever? What happens to us after death? Moving between science and culture, After Life: Ways We Think About Death takes a straightforward look at these and other questions that have long been taboo in our society. Showing the fascinating, diverse ways in which we think about death, both today and throughout our history, the book also shines a light on what it is to be human.
