The desert in fact is an ecosystem where thousands of plants and animals live
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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.
Great for all ages!

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.
