Presents the history, peoples, climate, creatures, sights and sounds of the largest and most austere desert on earth. Describes the legacies left by the desert's nations and peoples: stone circles older than Stonehenge; Roman aqueducts; remnants of Greek fields and vineyards; and the ruins of palaces and temples along the Royal Road, a once busy trading route for gold and salt.
