When the Sahara was green - how our greatest desert came to be

This book explores the little-known history of how the Sahara was transformed from a green and fertile land into the largest hot desert in the world. The author 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.
