Deserts cover vast areas of every continent. They are not identical; each is unique in the life it supports and the human cultures that have arisen in it. This book explains why deserts form in particular regions. It describes their climates and the ways plants and animals have adapted to them.

Review
Readers will be drawn into this resource by the outstanding color photographs and clear diagrams and charts...many of which are not available in other resources. The graphics alone are worth the price. A wonderful, reader-friendly work. - School Library Journal
