From the very moment she arrives on site as the new geologist on the Lesotho Highlands Water Scheme, Robyn feels it has been a mistake. Separated from her partner Terence, she struggles to overcome prejudice and adapt to a life tuned to the demanding rhythms of working on the tunnel under tremendous time pressure. After a year surviving derailments, cave-ins and flooding, she leaves the tunnel project to work on various assignments that take her to vastly different locations in South Africa and Namibia. Always in the background is Terence, who is more of a friend than a lover, and Robyn's beloved dog; in the foreground is her passion for her work and a job well done and her interaction with the locals in all the places where her job takes her.

About one-third of the Earth’s land surface experiences a desert climate, and this area supports approximately 15% of the planet’s population. This percentage continues to grow, and with this growth comes the need to acquire and apply an understanding of desert geomorphology. Such an understanding is vital in managing scarce and fragile resources and in mitigating natural hazards. This authoritative reference book is comprehensive in its coverage of the geomorphology of desert environments, and is arranged thematically. It begins with an overview of global deserts, proceeds through treatments of weathering, hillslopes, rivers, piedmonts, lake basins, and aeolian surfaces, and concludes with a discussion of the role of climatic change. Written by a team of international authors, all of whom are active in the field, the chapters cover the spectrum of desert geomorphology.
