Book Description
Layering climate science, mythologies, nature writing, and personal experiences, this New York Times Notable Book presents a stunning reckoning with our current moment and with the literal and figurative end of time. Desert Notebooks examines how the unprecedented pace of destruction to our environment and an increasingly unstable geopolitical landscape have led us to the brink of a calamity greater than any humankind has confronted before. As inhabitants of the Anthropocene, what might some of our own histories tell us about how to confront apocalypse? And how might the geologies and ecologies of desert spaces inform how we see and act toward time—the pasts we have erased and paved over, this anxious present, the future we have no choice but to build? Ehrenreich draws on the stark grandeur of the desert to ask how we might reckon with the uncertainty that surrounds us and fight off the crises that have already begun. In the canyons and oases of the Mojave and in Las Vegas’s neon apocalypse, Ehrenreich finds beauty, and even hope, surging up in the most unlikely places, from the most barren rocks, and the apparent emptiness of the sky. Desert Notebooks is a vital and necessary chronicle of our past and our present—unflinching, urgent—yet timeless and profound.

Book Description
The United Nations Water Conference (in Argentina in March 1977) and the United Nations Conference to Combat Desertification (in Kenya in August 1977) reflect the worldwide attention that recent global food shortages and growing populations have drawn to the destruction of arable and potentially arable land. This collection of articles focuses on a primary form of such destruction: desertification—the creation of desert-like conditions in arid or semiarid regions either by changes in climate patterns or by human mismanagement, or both. The contributors—representing a range of disciplines—examine and evaluate the social, political, economic, environmental, and technical problems related to the causes and effects of desertification.

Things have started to return to normal in Brett’s life, and he’s happily participating in a practical joke competition with Poppy and Joe. But when Joe goes missing, Brett wonders if it’s just his next joke, or something more serious. And then they discover the crater. Another portal has opened, and Brett and Poppy have to jump in to find their friend. This time, they are taken to a desert, into a world that they believed only existed in stories, to a city that is doomed. But they find Joe, who is fearlessly helping them survive as an evil villain cuts off their supplies. Brett and Poppy join in, teaching the residents of the city the elements of crafting potions. But even armed with this new knowledge, they worry that it would be enough to save the city.

Book Description
In 1935, when Paul Sears set out to write his book Deserts on the March, drought gripped much of the United States, and the Dust Bowl was at its worst. Great dust clouds were blowing as far east as New York and Washington, D.C. The publication of Deserts on the March had a profound impact in awakening America to the task of controlling soil erosion through proper land management and understanding of ecological relationships.Today, global desertification and deforestation continue on a grand scale. Each year about 42,000 square miles of forests are lost -- an area the size of Tennessee. International studies show that desertification -- the expansion of desert-like landscapes into semi-arid environments due to the impact of human influences -- now threatens about one-third of the world's land surface and affects the livelihoods of at least 850 million people.The great strength of Deserts on the March does not lie so much in its precise predictions or policy prescriptions. Rather, this beautifully written book should be read for Sears' ecological wisdom and his sweeping story of man's destruction of the earth."
