WUESTEN - Lebensraum der Extreme
by Markus Eisl, Gerald Mansberger
Description
The satellite image book WÜSTEN – Lebensraum der Extreme from the series Human Footprint covers a theme that does not seem to be related to the Human Footprint. Nevertheless, during millennia of history humans have developed a wealth of different relations to deserts, despite natural limitations from the lack of water and from extreme temperatures.
Deserts are places without liquid water and by that extremely hostile to life. Yet this hostile character has contributed to the fascination exerted by these harsh landscapes over people. The presentation of deserts in this book starts with examples of natural landscapes from the Sahara to the polar desert of Antarctica. Structures such as wadis, yardangs, and sand dunes reflect the forces of water and wind, by which they were formed. The next section highlights margins of deserts and oases, which up to now are of vital importance also for man.
