From endless sand dunes and prickly cacti to shimmering mirages and green oases, deserts evoke contradictory images in us. They are lands of desolation, but also of romance, of blistering Mojave heat and biting Gobi cold. This text celebrates our fascination with these arid lands and their inhabitants, as well as their importance both throughout history and in the world today.
