Peter Aleshire

Geoffrey H. Nash

Offers information on some of the world's deserts: the lowest point in North America, to the Libyan desert, to Antarctica's vast polar deserts, which have not had ice cover for thousands of years. This book reveals why these landforms are never static, but always changing.

Deserts

Laurie Burnham

Explores how these rivers (the planet's two longest rivers, which flow through African deserts and Amazon jungles) came to exist, their place in history, what makes each unusual, and environmental challenges.

Rivers

Jeanne K. Hanson

Both a scientific tour and a journey through time, this book profiles 10 of the world's most exciting lakes. From the Caspian Sea, a giant salt water lake, to Lake Eyre, the lake that vanishes, to the sub-Arctic Great Slave Lake, the story of each lake unfolds with a look at its origins, how it has changed over time, and why.
