The little-known history of how the Sahara was transformed from a green and fertile land into the largest hot desert in the world The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, equal in size to China or the United States. Yet, this arid expanse was once a verdant, pleasant land, fed by rivers and lakes. The Sahara sustained abundant plant and animal life, such as Nile perch, turtles, crocodiles, and hippos, and attracted prehistoric hunters and herders. What transformed this land of lakes into a sea of sands? When the Sahara Was Green describes the remarkable history of Earth’s greatest desert—including why its climate changed, the impact this had on human populations, and how scientists uncovered the evidence for these extraordinary events. From the Sahara’s origins as savanna woodland and grassland to its current arid incarnation, Martin Williams takes us on a vivid journey through time. He describes how the desert’s ancient rocks were first fashioned, how dinosaurs roamed freely across the land, and how it was later covered in tall trees. Along the way, Williams addresses many questions: Why was the Sahara previously much wetter, and will it be so again? Did humans contribute to its desertification? What was the impact of extreme climatic episodes—such as prolonged droughts—upon the Sahara’s geology, ecology, and inhabitants? Williams also shows how plants, animals, and humans have adapted to the Sahara and what lessons we might learn for living in harmony with the harshest, driest conditions in an ever-changing global environment. A valuable look at how an iconic region has changed over millions of years, When the Sahara Was Green reveals the desert’s surprising past to reflect on its present, as well as its possible future.

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 Sahara Desert The biggest hot desert on Earth, the Sahara Desert in North Africa covers parts of twelve countries-more area than the entire United States! The Sahara has oases scattered widely and sand dunes that can reach as high as 600 feet (182m). But the Sahara is expanding at an alarming rate. As desertification occurs, the few areas that can currently be used for farming become barren wastelands. The most environmental degradation is found in oases and other areas where there are small amounts of water available. Have conservation efforts begun in time to help save the people and wildlife who depend on the Sahara? Book jacket.

The first in a series of titles providing scientifically accurate, concise and well-illustrated accounts of major environments which are, or soon will be, under threat. This volume provides a vivid picture of the world's grandest and most awe-inspiring desert, the Sahara. Much of it man-made, mostly of comparatively recent origin, it is today expanding inexorably into the Sahel savanna bordering its southern flanks. Whether geographer, meteorologist, geologist, botanist, zoologist, sociologist or anthropologist no true scientist can fail to respond to the intellectual problems that emerge from the study of this immense zone of desolation, or to the exciting ideas that it generates.
