Book Description
Excerpt from Animal Life in Deserts: A Study of the Fauna in Relation to the Environment Circumstances over which I had no control induced me to study the conditions of life in Lower Mesopotamia and in North-West Persia for more than two years. I had previously seen desert life in spring-time during a short visit to Algeria, and more recently I have lived in Jerusalem, a city which is not indeed in the desert, but within easy reach of the deserts of Southern Palestine and of the lower end of the Jordan depression. I have endeavoured to summarize my own observations and to elucidate their meaning by comparison with what has been observed in other deserts. The desert is an environment unspoilt by the hand of man, so that one can more clearly observe the interaction of plant and animal upon each other, and the dependence of the living creatures upon climate and other physical conditions. This " œcological " study will, I hope, prove interesting to many who delight in natural history, but who have never had an opportunity to make themselves acquainted with the more formal aspects of Zoology.

Book Description
Desert Biology: Special Topics on the Physical and Biological Aspects of Arid Regions, Volume II records the conditions and life in the arid regions of the world. This book discusses the hydrogeology of arid regions, desert soil surfaces and classes, and physical and vegetational aspects of the Sahara Desert. The Piman Indians of the Sonoran Desert, approach to the water relations of desert plants, desert arthropods, and aquatic environments of deserts are also considered. Other topics include the artificial changes in the hydrogeology of deserts, soils of individual world deserts, rainfall and water supply of desert plants, and ecological plant types in arid regions. The hydrature in true xerophytes, chloride accumulation in halophytes, and biological response to desert water conditions are likewise covered in this publication. This volume is recommended for researchers and specialists interested in the hot, dry regions of the planet.
