Deserts is a singular guide to the most spectacular -- and most formidable -- places on earth. In an informative, entertaining text and spectacular color photographs, the author journeys around the world to capture the extraordinary beauty of deserts and the lives it sustains, as varied and fantastic as their landscapes. He explores the ingenious -- and same of the most astonishing -- adaptations that humans, mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects undergo in order to survive in the world's deserts.
