Description
The Mojave Desert has a wealthy natural history. Regardless of being sandwiched between the larger Great Basin and Sonoran Deserts, it has enough mountains, valleys, canyons, and playas for any eager explorer. Ancient and current waterways carve the bajadas and valley bottoms. This diverse topography gives rise to a multitude of habitats for plants and animals, many of which might be found nowhere else on this planet.
A Natural History of the Mojave Desert explores how a combination of complex geology, varied geography, and changing climate has given rise to intriguing natural world—including almost 3,000 plant species and about 380 terrestrial vertebrate animal species. Of these, one quarter of the plants and one sixth of the animals are endemic.
The authors, who, combined, have spent more than six decades living in and observing the Mojave Desert, offer a scientifically insightful and individually observed figuring out of the desert. They invite readers to have in mind how the Mojave Desert looks, sounds, feels, tastes, and smells. They prompt us to have in mind how humans have lived on this desert where scant vegetation and water have challenged humans, past and present.
A Natural History of the Mojave Desert provides a full of life and informed guide to figuring out how life has adapted to the hidden riverbeds, huge salt flats, tiny wetlands, and windswept hills that characterize this iconic desert.
