When we think of nature, we don't usually think of Hawaiian forests trampled by feral pigs or dog food-eating brown tree snakes. But in a world where no corner is spared, nature isn't as pristine as we would like to think.
In a new book, senior editor for Discover Magazine Alan Burdick says that nature's intruders are everywhere -- often in the form of species plucked from one ecosystem and dropped into another, sometimes with disastrous results.
Hear a conversation with Burdick about the relentless march of invading species and their impact on ecosystems.

Iran's Nuclear Future? |
Listen
President Bush and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder had strong words for Iran today. Addressing reporters, the leaders emphasized the importance of a tough, unified front on Iran's nuclear program.
The statements come at a tense time for all nations involved. President Bush has expressed skepticism about the legitimacy of Iran's recent elections. Iranian President-elect, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is recognized as a hard-liner with little regard for what the U.S. thinks. He has signaled lukewarm willingness to continue talks with Europe, but also says he will not rule out nuclear development if it is in Iran's national interest.
Shireen Hunter, director of the Islam program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, gives an analysis of today's press conference, and the future of U.S. policy toward Iran.
