Characterized by uncompromising climate, sparse population density, and extreme aridity, deserts, steppes, and scrublands represent some of the least accessible regions on the planet. However, despite the severity of these ecosystems, they still boast mesmerizing terrains and are capable of supporting diverse animal groups and plant varieties as well as nomadic human inhabitants. This volume tours the alluring landscapes and ecosystems of the unique deserts and steppes of the world and introduces readers to the unique populations that call them home.

      Gr 9 Up- These volumes reprint articles and illustrations from Britannica Online Encyclopedia without ever mentioning that fact even in the fine print. The updating seems spotty; some articles haven't been revised for 10 years or more, charts showing weather and other trends cut off at 2005, and in Climate and Climate Change, a photo of a "hybrid" car shows a 2006 model. The color photos are small and cramped-looking, the overall appearance is dense and drab, and bibliographical essays at each volume's end are not accompanied by website listings. These will be useful additions only where access to equivalent online material is not available.
