Items related to Desertification: Exploding the Myth
This controversial book argues that the reality of the expanding desert is not so much an objective scientific fact as a political, social and observational construct. Examines the origin of the desertification myth, how it spawned multimillion dollar research initiatives and became a leading environmental issue. Uses new research findings to demonstrate that this highly vaunted problem is extremely smaller and less locally significant than previously accepted. Includes a wealth of illustrations from global examples.
