Deserts are thought of by many as dry, lifeless areas. This innovative and dynamic series challenges this way of thinking. Each title provides a detailed and vibrant look at a major desert: its physical geography, historical significance, plant and animal life, and environmental challenges. Readers will also learn about the people who live in the desert and how they cope with the harsh conditions. Full-color maps, photographs, and engaging text combine to show the rich and diverse ecology of the world's deserts. Series highlights include:
• Each book contains a detailed timeline, a table comparing the characteristics of the world's major deserts, and informative sidebars
• Includes primary source materials, such as photographs, field notes, and personal accounts from scientists and explorers
• Encourages readers to be global citizens and understand the fragile state of ecosystems around the world
