The book provides a studious, in-depth, and scientifically grounded overview of North America's four major desert systems: the Mojave, Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Great Basin. In an exceptionally vivid manner, the authors deconstruct common misconceptions of deserts as monotonous and lifeless expanses, revealing to the reader a vibrant ecosystem rich in endemic flora and fauna, striking geological formations, and a dramatic history of human settlement. The volume is enriched with more than two hundred superb, authentic full-color photographs that accompany textual reports on the traditions of the Navajo people, the remains of prehistoric Native American cultures, the dramatic expeditions of early explorers, and the survival of unique desert organisms, while the very beginning features an inspiring foreword by the renowned American zoologist and desert biology expert Edmund C. Jaeger. The book is also accompanied by a comprehensive index and bibliography.
