Middleton N., Deserts — 2009 (Very short introductions. 215)

Deserts make up a third of the planet's land surface, but if you picture a desert, what comes to mind? A wasteland? A drought? A place devoid of all life forms? Deserts are remarkable places. Typified by drought and extremes of temperature, they can be harsh and hostile; but many deserts are also spectacularly beautiful, and on occasion teem with life. Nick Middleton explores how each desert is unique: through fantastic life forms, extraordinary scenery, and ingenious human adaptations. He demonstrates a desert's immense natural beauty, its rich biodiversity, and uncovers a long history of successful human occupation. This Very Short Introduction tells you everything you ever wanted to know about these extraordinary places and captures their importance in the working of our planet.

Hofmann G., Our Conquest — 1991

The War is over. Our town has been conquered, and the conquering army-is it Russian? American?-has occupied it in the most unobtrusive way. The Imbach children (and our Edgar) emerge from their shelter and begin their journey through a home town which war, and now occupation, have made into a nightmare landscape. This is a tour not only of the town s devastated present but of its past, it surviving landmarks and its shameful secret history. Our Conquest is a civilian war novel, told from a child's eye perspective, a black comedy but also a thriller, as the children piece together a world from the shards and shrapnel about them. Their curiosity is obsessive, cruel and relentless.
