DesertsDeserts make up a third of the planet's land surface, but if you picture a desert, what comes to mind? A sandy wasteland? A drought parched dust bowl? An alien landscape devoid of all life forms? In this marvelous Very Short Introduction, geographer and popular science writer Nick Middleton reveals that deserts are places of immense natural charm and rich biodiversity. Typified by drought and extremes of temperature, they can be harsh and hostile, but
Deserts make up a third of the planet's land surface, but if you picture a desert, what comes to mind? A sandy wasteland? A drought-parched dust bowl? An alien landscape devoid of all life forms? In this marvelous Very Short Introduction, geographer and popular science writer Nick Middleton reveals that deserts are places of immense natural charm and rich biodiversity. Typified by drought and extremes of temperature, they can be harsh and hostile, but Middleton shows that many deserts are also spectacularly beautiful, and on occasion they can teem with life. The author highlights how each desert is unique, describing their frequently fantastic life forms, extraordinary scenery, and long history of ingenious human habitation. Written by a respected scientist who enjoys a wide following for his Going to Extremes television series on National Geographic, Deserts tells you everything you ever wanted to know about these extraordinary places and captures their importance in the working of our planet.Binding Type: Paperback

Overall ok
Size: Small, Color: Light Gray, Size: Small, Color: Light Gray
I purchased this for my son for homecoming. 6’, 170, size S. The pants fit well, the jacket is kind of boxy. If you’re looking for a more slim fit on jacket, this is not it. It was too late for us to get anything else. Overall, it was fine. The sleeves At wrist not as crisp. I had to really press to give crisp shape. I steamed the heck out of it. My son was OK with it. Holds up well for one time use. Color was what we wanted.

Best bang for your buck
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
Highly recommend this suit if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck! We did go with another option, but upon receiving the suit, I will definitely keep this seller in mind for other occasions! Do wish you could mis-match the pants and blazer sizes, but still a great option if you can fit the top and bottom together! Even adjusting bigger sizes with a tailor, still cheaper than most options while not appearing as cheap as it is! Also ordered the champagne color, very admirable as well!

Great vest
Size: 12, Color: Black
Great vest. I love the slim fit. It looks very nice on my son, not baggy or boxy looking like some vest. My son has used it for several occasions including a wake, a Beta Club induction, awards day, and soon his graduation celebration at church. The quality and material are good. Definitely worth what I paid.
