(3) K-3 Translated by George L. Newman. Tackling assumptions about deserts, this book examines deserts that are cold, that contain historic sites, that support plants, animals, and various nomadic peoples, and even (in the Antarctic) have plenty of water. A map in the back helps readers locate the deserts mentioned, while attractive acrylic paintings help convey the author's appreciation for these diverse dry places.
