Arabian Deserts provides a comprehensive coverage of all the
deserts of Arabia largely based on the author's experience in
Arabia over the last fifty years. It deals with every type of
desert found there, including those formed by great sand seas,
dunefields, evaporites, clay pans, stony plains, volcanic flows,
desert plateaux and mountains, deltas, and desert islands.
Distinctive landforms of Arabia deserts are described, together
with their geological setting and the influence of climates both
past and present. The six great sand seas of Arabia are emphasized
since Ar Rub' al Khali Desert forms the world's largest continuous
sand desert. Sources, sedimentology, and the mechanisms of
formation of these great sand deserts are examined. Distinctive
sand dunes and interdunes types found in Arabia are described,
classified and explained. ...] The icluded CD-ROM contains high
quality full color versions of photos and figures which are printed
in black and white in the book itself.
