| Synopsis: |
Just under one third of the Earth's land masses are made up of deserts, which range from the traditionally perceived rippling sand dunes stretching as far as the eye can see to barren outcrops of wind-carved rock monuments protruding from arid plains. The following are the major deserts on Earth: Great Basin; Chihuahua; Atacama; Mojave/Sonora; Sahara; Namibia; Gobi; Kalahari; Arabia; Thar; Iran; Sinai; Turkestan; Takla Makan; and Australia. They appear to be inhospitable to man, but this book demonstrates that humans manage to eke out successful existences in many of them, while flora and animals thrive in some. Containing sections on the World's greatest deserts, desert flora and fauna, people of the desert, and the mark of man, this book is the latest title in Compendium's new "Panoramic Vision Series" - huge coffee-table sized books, which use 16-inch wide pages to present the most beautiful panoramic views of the world's heritage and countryside. It features 209 full colour photographs, mainly single- and double-page spreads. |
