Book Description:
|
For most of us the word "desert" conjures up images of barren wasteland, vast, dry stretches inimical to life. But for a great array of creatures, the desert is a haven and a home. Travel with Mares into the deserts of Argentina, Iran, Egypt, and the American Southwest to encounter a rich and memorable variety of small, tenacious animals.
