Deserts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502674371)

From the scorching sands of the Sahara to the vast, dark expanses of the Atacama, this volume introduces young readers to the beauty, mystery, and resilience of desert ecosystems. Students discover how animals and plants survive in these harsh environments, learn about the unique cultures that call deserts home, and explore the science behind extreme heat and arid climates. Vibrant full-color photographs and in-depth sidebars bring Earth's most extreme deserts to life. Discussion questions prompt critical thinking, and a list of age-appropriate books and websites provides a jumping-off point for independent research.
