{"product_id":"climate-change-in-deserts-martin-williams-9781107016910","title":"Climate Change in Deserts","description":"This book reconstructs climatic changes in deserts and their margins at a variety of scales in space and time. It draws upon evidence from land and sea, including desert dunes, wind-blown dust, river and lake sediments, glacial moraines, plant and animal fossils, isotope geochemistry, speleothems, soils, and prehistoric archaeology. The book summarises the Cenozoic evolution of the major deserts of the Americas, Eurasia, Africa and Australia and the causes of historic floods and droughts. The book then considers the causes and consequences of desertification and proposes four key conditions for achieving ecologically sustainable use of natural resources in arid and semi-arid areas. Climate Change in Deserts is an invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students interested in the climate and geomorphology of deserts: geographers, geologists, ecologists, archaeologists, soil scientists, hydrologists, climatologists and natural resource managers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107016916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107016910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.00w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2015","brand":"Martin Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947741970687,"sku":"9781107016910","price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9d4272b4-303a-4ec9-b71d-c13012094c25.jpg?v=1681520528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/climate-change-in-deserts-martin-williams-9781107016910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
