Deserts make up a third of the planet's land surface, but if you picture a desert, what comes to mind? A sandy wasteland? A drought-parched dust bowl? An alien landscape devoid of all life forms? In this marvelous Very Short Introduction, geographer and popular science writer Nick Middleton reveals that deserts are places of immense natural charm and rich biodiversity. Typified by drought and extremes of temperature, they can be harsh and hostile, but Middleton shows that many deserts are also spectacularly beautiful, and on occasion they can teem with life. The author highlights how each desert is unique, describing their frequently fantastic life forms, extraordinary scenery, and long history of ingenious human habitation. Written by a respected scientist who enjoys a wide following for his Going to Extremes television series on National Geographic, Deserts tells you everything you ever wanted to know about these extraordinary places and captures their importance in the working of our planet.Binding Type: Paperback

Stand on and look so great!
I have several pair of slipper shoes for my babe and these are the first ones I grab every day. They fit great and stay on his feet. You can put them on quickly and get out the door. Not to mention they are so adorable!

Cute shoe that stays on
Very use to booties and shoes coming off of baby; however, the fasten on these prevent this without being too tight. The print is also adorable. Will purchase next size as baby's feet grow.

Expensive but they work
The nice thing about these is the snap. My baby has figured out Velcro but not snaps yet. I think they could cost a little less but they are good for when he is at daycare and we don't after to worry about him taking off his socks.
