Product Description
Product Description
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.

Great for all ages!, 11 Feb 2001
By William Flickinger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deserts (Ecosystems (Facts on File)) (Library Binding)
This is a very well designed book that covers the the desert habitat. It presents its information in a way that can appeal to both younger children and to college students and beyond. It is not merely a book that informs the reader of the desert itself, but it also covers all that occurs in the desert. There are also random diagrams that help explain certain aspects of the desert or its denizens (ie. diagram of how a sidewinder moves). All in all I recommend that this book is at least examined before writing any school paper on the desert. Libraries should definitely look into purchasing this book for their collection.

The desert in fact is an ecosystem where thousands of plants and animals live, 8 Jun 2008
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deserts (Ecosystem) (Ecosystems (Facts on File)) (Hardcover)
Deserts - viewed as most as an inhospitable wasteland to be avoided. Its appearance is deceiving however, as the desert in fact is an ecosystem where thousands of plants and animals live, survive, and thrive. "Deserts", part of a series on ecosystems, is in a revised edition covering everything about the desert - its plant life, its wildlife, and its value to the world as a whole (an eye-opening note to the previously ignorant). "Deserts" is a must for any educational shelf dedicated to teaching their readers about the environment or for anyone who's misunderstanding the purpose of the dry, arid plains of sand.
