YAGeography of Extreme Environments series.
This series focuses on the geographies, climates, ecosystems, and social histories of these unique regions. Chapters on the native peoples attempt to disprove stereotypes, and those on European influences try to dispel misconceptions about the regions' histories. In trying to engage readers, Gritzner can sound condescending. Many maps, charts, and photographs are included. Reading list, timeline. Bib., ind. Review covers these Geography of Extreme Environments titles: Deserts, Polar Regions, and The Tropics.
