Book Description
Desert exploration, like climbing Everest or polar expeditions, is not for the faint-hearted, and many of the vivid tales within this fascinating biographical history end in tragedy. However, the informative and absorbing descriptions of the extraordinary journeys, challenges and achievements of these intrepid figures, are captivating. They risked their lives variously for good old fashioned epic adventure, solitude, fame, the answer to mythical questions and some were even spies. They experienced fear, excitement and hardship in their journeys into the unknown. There are many books on exploration but remarkably few on desert exploration. Moreover, some of the great desert explorers of the last three hundred years are now very little remembered or appreciated in comparison, say, with those who ventured to the poles, climbed Everest, or sought the source of the Nile. Yet, crossing unknown deserts is no less challenging. This volume finally brings these Great Desert Explorers into the limelight, with short, illustrated biographies of around 60 of the most interesting, intrepid and important explorers of the world’s greatest deserts. There is also a brief introduction to each desert region. The many original quotations, illustrations and maps, contemporary figures, as well as plates of a range of desert landscapes make this a colourful, lively and informative read.

Book Description
This book offers reflections on a daunting and controversial ethical question: How should we treat the strangers who enter this country illegally? To understand the experience of those directly confronted by this problem, Ananda Rose traveled to the Sonoran desert at the border between the U.S. and Mexico. There she gathered opinions from Minutemen, Border Patrol agents, Catholic nuns, humanitarian air workers, left-wing protestors, ranchers, and other ordinary citizens in southern Arizona. She depicts the results of these interviews as two starkly opposed ideological perspectives: that of religious activists who embrace a biblically-inspired model of hospitality that stresses love of strangers and a "borderless" compassion; and that of law enforcement, which is concerned with safety, security, and strict respect for international borders.

Book Description
HIDDEN LIFE OF THE DESERT: And Our Future in the Drying Southwest is a greatly expanded, 120-page 2022/Third Edition, co-published by Wild Horizons and Mountain Press. Part 2 offers an up-to-date, well-researched, thought-provoking, non-technical synthesis of ideas for a future based on “desert thinking for desert living.” In the context of explosive population growth and climate change, consider outdated laws that govern land and water use in the Southwest, how water and energy are connected, pros and cons of desalination, crops suitable for arid lands, agri-solar studies, solar canals, rainwater harvesting, ASU’s exciting new project with “mechanical trees” that collect CO2 from the atmosphere, and more. This book is packed with useful information for students, teachers, and parents. As in his 2nd Edition (2010) of HIDDEN LIFE, Author-Photographer Thomas Wiewandt brightens every page of Part 1 with stunning color photographs of plants and animals that thrive in seemingly barren landscapes of the Sonoran Desert. This book has also served as an educational companion to his award-winning film DESERT DREAMS: Celebrating Five Seasons in the Sonoran Desert, a popular film with no narration that has aired as a pledge drive program on national Public Television since 2015.
