Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum FAQ Guide

Description

What exactly is a desert? How can I attract hummingbirds? Are cactus spines poisonous? Is a javelina a pig? This book provides detailed answers to 42 questions that the staff at the Desert Museum are most often asked. Supplemented with nearly 100 illustrations, this 200-page book is broken down into three sections: getting to know the desert, the desert as one’s backyard, and enjoying the desert. Seven useful appendices cover a range of topics including hummingbird gardening, venomous bites and stings, climate, and additional sources of information about desert life. A fun way to learn how wild and fascinating our deserts really are!
