Janet Marinelli is the former director of publishing at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. She has written extensively about biological invasion and other conservation issues. She serves on the steering committee of the Center for Urban Restoration Ecology and the plant conservation committee of the American Public Garden Association. Her latest book, Plant (Dorling Kindersley, 2005), showcases 2,000 species worldwide that are threatened in the wild but alive and well in gardens and makes the case that gardens can play an important role in saving plants. Since its debut in the U.S., the book has been published in more than a dozen countries around the world. Marinelli has won numerous awards for her writing, including the American Horticultural Society's prestigious American Gardener Award for writing "that has made a significant contribution to horticulture."
