An Inconvenient Truth – Review
In my limited readings on desertification (about 10 books), this is the only book that covers desertification comprehensively. While other books relate you that desertification is a long-standing land degradation and is usually caused by mismanagement of land, this book includes the climatic factor as well. How climate influences the hydrologic cycle, vegetation and soil, and how in turn these factors involved by individual actions start to qualitative changes in soil and vegetation. It also suggests a few steps towards effectively mitigating desertification. In overall, this book earns a 5!
