Books with title The War in the Desert-WWII

As global climate change advances, more parts of Earth are becoming desert. How to slow this process is just one area of research scientists study in the desert biome. Like the animals and plants that can survive it, scientists must learn how to work in the hot, dry conditions of the desert. Readers find out their strategies for working in deserts, such as using solar power and even burning human waste! In addition, STEM topics such as robotics, drones, and climate research are described and illustrated through full-color photographs.

Excerpt from The Well in the DesertBlue Gulch had but one street, the two sides of which lay at different levels, separated by the wide yawn of the gulch itself, thrusting into the moun tain from the desert below. From where the man stood he commanded a very complete view of the place. In nearly every house was a light, and the shadows thrown upon the canvas walls gave a fair clue to the occupations of those within; so that during the early part of each evening at least neither half of the town need be in any doubt as to how the other half was living.The life and gaiety of the community in relaxa tion seemed to gather upon the upper plane. Across the gulch Lower Broadway lay in compara tive darkness.The man drew back again as a couple of shadowy forms came wavering down the road. One of these carried a lantern, which hung low at his side, revealing the heavy miners' boots of the pair, and casting grotesque shadows up the moun tain-side.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
