Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy - Deserts
The Science Guy succumbs to the lure of the desert, and Bill Nye goes to Arizona to get a close-up look at the unique land and both plant and animal life. His high-energy series has received many awards for its unique approach to science education, including a National Education Association award, and one from the Television Critics Association. Bill Nye the Science Guy: Deserts offers explanations on how desert animals, including camels, adapt to extreme conditions.
Deserts cover nearly half the world and are classified as dry, semi-arid, arid, and hyper-arid. These include the hot deserts, such as the Sahara, the cold continental deserts such as the Gobi, the coastal deserts such as the Namib and Atacama, and the North American deserts. Providing an in-depth look at the history, geography, peoples, various surfaces, plants, and animals, "Deserts, Revised Edition" is an expanded update that will be useful to high school students interested in this fascinating ecosystem.
This book presents an oasis of information on the world's starkest deserts. "Journey from Death Valley", the lowest point in North America, to the Libyan desert, the hottest on Earth, where temperatures can reach 136[degrees]F, to Antarctica's vast polar deserts, which have not had ice cover for thousands of years. From trade wind and rainshadow deserts to interior and coastal deserts, "Deserts" spotlights 10 superlative examples and reveals why these astonishing landforms are never static, but always changing. A dramatic, full-color photographic insert adds visual appeal to this compelling title.
Not all deserts are hot and covered in sand -- some are cold and covered in ice and snow. Find out what all deserts have in common, and how desert plants and animals survive in this harsh environment.
