About this ebook
Deserts Hide Rivers unveils the Sahara's surprising secret: a vast network of ancient rivers buried beneath the sands.
Challenging the perception of deserts as static landscapes, the book uses remote sensing and paleoclimate data to reconstruct the Sahara's dynamic past, revealing how shifts between wet and arid periods shaped its environment and history.
Imagine lush river systems once flowing where only sand dunes now exist, a testament to dramatic climate transformations.
