Deserts (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781914087073)

If you're looking for an extreme habitat, look no further than the desert. Don't be fooled by its beauty though, this book's at-a-glance fact files and survival tips will show you just how extreme these habitats can be. From space, deserts look empty and lifeless and in a place that gets less than 25 centimeters of water each year, that could easily be the case. However, that just makes the creatures and people of the desert awesome and magical to read about. Plants, animals, and people have all found ingenious ways to thrive this inhospitable habitat.
