Are deserts dead, uninhabited, abandoned, and useless? Not at all! Just look at them with the eyes of a naturalist traveler! We're embarking on a journey through the most amazing landscapes and vistas, where we'll encounter fantastic plants and animals that have adapted to live and thrive in the harshest conditions!
According to scientists, deserts have existed throughout the history of our planet. The contours of continents and oceans have changed. Landscapes, atmospheric composition, and climate have evolved. One geological era has followed another. But ecosystems have always emerged that, for some reason, lacked water. And today, deserts exist in almost every part of the world, in different climate zones: temperate, subtropical, and tropical.
So, let's go—Africa, Asia, America, and Australia await us! We'll visit the Gobi and Mojave deserts, the Kalahari and the Sahara, the Namib, the Taklamakan, and the Atacama! We'll also learn about the myths and legends of deserts and their inhabitants, how to prepare for a trip to this special biome, and what other books you can read about it.
