As well as magnificent Saharan dunes under blazing sun, the desert concept encompasses the intensely cold winters of the Gobi, the snow-covered expanse of Antarctica and the rock-strewn drylands of Pakistan. Deserts are environments in perpetual flux and home to peoples as diverse as their surroundings, peoples who grapple with a broad spectrum of cultural, political and environmental issues as they wrest livelihoods from marginal lands. 517 $aChanging Deserts 606 $aNature / Essays$2bisacsh 606 $aNature / Ecosystems & Habitats / Deserts$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Essays$2bisacsh 606 $aNature 615 7$aNature / Essays 615 7$aNature / Ecosystems & Habitats / Deserts 615 7$aHistory / Essays 615 0$aNature 700 $aMol$b Lisa$01214535 701 $aSternberg$b Troy$01214536 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552749803321 996 $aChanging Deserts$92804421 997 $aUNINA
