When the Sahara Was Green describes the remarkable history of Earth's greatest desert-including why its climate changed, the impact this had on human populations, and how scientists uncovered the evidence for these extraordinary events. Along the way, Williams also shows how plants, animals, and humans have adapted to the Sahara and what lessons we might learn for living in harmony with the harshest, driest conditions in an ever-changing global environment. A valuable look at how an iconic region has changed over millions of years, When the Sahara Was Green reveals the desert's surprising past to reflect on its present, as well as its possible future"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $z Sahara. 650 0 $a Desertification $z Africa, North. 650 0 $a Paleoclimatology $z Sahara. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Global Warming & Climate Change. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Geology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a NATURE / Ecosystems & Habitats / Deserts. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Sahara $x History. $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240202021658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD04EF78C19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
