Produktinformationen zu „Mankind and Deserts 1 (PDF)“
The wild beauty of deserts has always been a source of fascination the
world over. Mankind and Deserts 1 the first of three volumes
describes their location and geographic variety. There are both hot and
cold deserts, those at high altitude or those at sea level, differing in
climate but sharing the scarcity of water, extreme temperatures and
often violent winds.
According to paleoclimate evidence, however, deserts have not always
been as arid as they are today. Deserts were a source of inspiration for
many spiritual leaders, among them, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad; as
well as conquerors, from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan. Some
avoided these deserts, or crossed them as fast as they could.
Others
adapted to them and developed vibrant civilizations and cities.
From ancient, almost mythical, exploration to modern scientific studies,
deserts have come to be better known yet still hold great appeal. This
book traces the history of their knowledge while providing a basis for
understanding their features and the tools needed for their protection, in
an ever-changing world.
