A Look at Deserts

Deserts are among the least understood areas on Earth. They are often mistaken for barren, lifeless places. This book dispels that myth and introduces young readers to these fascinating and dynamic regions of our planet. With vivid photographs, handy vocabulary, and informative sidebars, this book answers that very question and provides students with a great primer on a landscape and environment that covers about one-third of the land surface of our planet.
