Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For thousands of years deserts have been seen as the empty edges of civilization-vast, silent landscapes where little of human history ever happened. But what if those deserts were not always barren? What if beneath the dunes lie the traces of rivers, lakes, grasslands, and the forgotten pathways of ancient people who once moved across landscapes that are now impossibly dry?Beneath the Sands explores the hidden climate history of the world's great deserts and reveals how dramatically the earth's environments have changed over time. Drawing on discoveries from climate science, archaeology, and environmental research, this book uncovers the story of greener Saharas, vanished rivers, migrating cultures, and the powerful climate cycles that reshaped the map of human civilization. For readers fascinated by ancient history, climate science, and the mysteries of lost landscapes, this is a journey into the forgotten worlds that once flourished where deserts stand today.
