The latest addition to the ever-popular Scientists in the Field series.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the Arizona desert, scientists conduct studies and experiments aimed to help us better understand our environment and what sort of things are happening to it due to climate change.
