- Summary
- "Explore the life cycle of the yucca and creosote bush, trace the wanderings of the gila monster and tenebrionid beetle in the rhythms of the desert at night. Unlike books that merely identify which plants and animals live in the desert, this book explores how these organisms live where they do. Sowell explains in terms that nonspecialists will understand and physiologic and behavioral adaptations that enable plants and animals, even humans, to survive and persist in such inhospitable places as the Intermountain, Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan Deserts. This book is for the curious, for all who enter the "wasteland" on foot or in their imaginations."--Jacket
