The desert is a difficult place in which to live. Yet, 13 percent of the world's people live in desert habitats. Spectacular photography highlights this series about the world's major desert systems. Each title focuses on one desert, describing its topography, climate, plant and animal life, unique geographical features, human cultures, and the problems facing the region. The Mojave Desert Located in the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, there are several national parks in the Mojave Desert, including Death Valley-the hottest place in North America. Settlers gave Death Valley its-name after enduring extreme suffering while trying to cross the unforgiving valley in 1849. Petroglyphs made by Paleo-Indians, the earliest known people in North America, are a reminder of the many indigenous peoples, including the Mojave people, who have made the Mojave Desert their home. Today, urbanization and pollution are threatening desert wildlife, such as the bighorn sheep. As the populations of Los Angeles and Las Vegas grow, more space is needed for homes, roads, and food crops, and there is an increasing demand for landfill space. Book jacket.

This book describes deserts around the world and explores how people have adapted to life in this harsh terrain, from irrigation techniques to the special clothing they wear. The book also looks at the future of deserts and how climate change is affecting desert landscapes around the world. Through easy-to-read text and bold photographs, young readers will discover the complexity and beauty of the desert environment.

The fact that approximately one-third of the world's land mass is arid desert may be congenial for the camel and the cactus, but not for people. Nevertheless, well over half a billion people, or 15% of the world's population live in arid desert areas. If the world's population were distributed evenly over the land surface, we would expect to find about 30% of the population inhabiting arid desert areas. Does the fact that 'only' 15% of the world's population live in an arid desert environment reflect the harshness of the environment? Or is it a testimony to the adaptability and ingenuity of mankind? Do we view the glass as half-full? Or half-empty? The contributors to Desert Development: Man and Technology in Sparselands adopt the position that the cup is half-full and, in fact, could be filled much more. Indeed, many arid desert zones do thrive with life, and given appropriate technological develop ment, such areas could support even greater popUlations. While the dire Malthusian prediction that rapid world population growth exceeds the carrying capacity of existent resource systems has gained popularity (typified by the 1972 Club of Rome book, Limits to Growth), there is a growing body of serious work which rejects such pessimistic 'depletion' models, in favor of models which are mildly optimistic.

Each title focuses on one desert, describing its topography, climate, plant and animal life, unique geographical features, human cultures, and the problems facing the region. The Great Victoria Desert The vast, sandy Great Victoria Desert in Australia receives little rain, yet blooms with a variety of plants. One of ten deserts included in the Australian Outback, the Great Victoria has been home to a number of indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The area's unique animal species such as the red kangaroo and the dingo have had to be tough and adaptable to survive here. Not only has the region faced such devastating problems as the introduction of non-native species of animals, it has also been used in modern times for mining and testing of atomic bombs.

Each title focuses on one desert, describing its topography, climate, plant and animal life, unique geographical features, human cultures, and the problems facing the region. The Atacama Desert The Valle de la Luna, or Valley of the Moon, in the Atacama Desert in Chile is considered to be one of the driest places on Earth. Some areas have not received rain for hundreds of years. Its large craters, miles of desolate sand and rocky surfaces, strangely carved rocks, and volcanic peaks make it comparable to the Moon's surface. In fact, the Atacama's soil is so similar to soil samples from Mars that NASA goes to this desert to test its exploration instruments. Marked by geoglyphs, enormous designs scraped into the ground by the ancient Atacameño people, this strange and wondrous place faces many challenges today, mainly from desertification and mining practices.
