Natural History of the Sonoran Desert

The Natural History of the Sonoran Desert is the most complete compendium of information about our region to be found in one volume. Produced by the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, this book features authors—many of whom have been long-time associates of our institution and the others, longtime friends —who are experts in their fields. Have you ever wondered what makes a mirage? Why deserts are so dry? How you can predict a good year for a wildflower bloom? It is likely that almost any question you might have is answered in this book. From geological origins and human ecology to the great biodiversity and marvelous adaptations plants and animals within our arid land, this title covers all the ecological and cultural patterns of the Sonoran Desert. If for some unimaginable reason, we could only sell one book in our museum bookshop, this is the one I would choose.

Because of our relationship with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, we are able to offer this title in paperback format at a lower price than other online retailers, as well as contribute to the ongoing efforts of the museum.
