A freak cattle stampede throws a young girl visiting her uncle’s ranch into a life-or-death struggle with a local outlaw gang! Young Hope Farman has arrived from the East for a visit with her uncle Nate at his Rancho del Encanto. She is being driven to the ranch when a cloud of dust appears on the horizon, filled with thundering hooves, as a cattle stampede storms toward them! In the chaos that ensues, Hope is thrown from her seat and into the path of the herd. She is rescued at the last second by Channing, a mysterious man who was born on the desert and has lived there ever since, a man who knows its secrets, including the whereabouts of the hideout of the notorious outlaw Mendicott and his gang of thieves. Hope discovers that the stampede was started by Brood, the foreman at her uncle’s ranch. When he’s fired by Nate he reacts violently, swearing he’ll back. Brood soon makes good on that promise, returning with an offer to buy the ranch, but it occurs to Nate that the offer obviously comes not from Brood but from Mendicott. When Nate refuses the offer, Brood and his gang kidnap Hope. Now, Channing will try to save Hope’s life for the second time, while Nate prepares himself and his farm for the battle of his life. Man of the Desert is an edge-of-your-seat Western thriller from a master of the genre. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction that takes place in the old West. Westerns—books about outlaws, sheriffs, chiefs and warriors, cowboys and Indians—are a genre in which we publish regularly. Our list includes international bestselling authors like Zane Gray and Louis L’Amour, and many more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

The cult-y pocket-size field guide to the strange and intriguing secrets of the Mojave—its myths and legends, outcasts and oddballs, flora, fauna, and UFOs—becomes the definitive, oracular book of the desert For the past five years, Desert Oracle has existed as a quasi-mythical, quarterly periodical available to the very determined only by subscription or at the odd desert-town gas station or the occasional hipster boutique, its canary-yellow-covered, forty-four-page issues handed from one curious desert zealot to the next, word spreading faster than the printers could keep up with. It became a radio show, a podcast, a live performance. Now, for the first time—and including both classic and new, never-before-seen revelations—Desert Oracle has been bound between two hard covers and is available to you. Straight out of Joshua Tree, California, Desert Oracle is “The Voice of the Desert”: a field guide to the strange tales, singing sand dunes, sagebrush trails, artists and aliens, authors and oddballs, ghost towns and modern legends, musicians and mystics, scorpions and saguaros, out there in the sand. Desert Oracle is your companion at a roadside diner, around a campfire, in your tent or cabin (or high-rise apartment or suburban living room) as the wind and the coyotes howl outside at night. From journal entries of long-deceased adventurers to stray railroad ad copy, and musings on everything from desert flora, rumored cryptid sightings, and other paranormal phenomena, Ken Layne's Desert Oracle collects the weird and the wonderful of the American Southwest into a single, essential volume.

Having been the fourth largest lake on the globe roughly 50 years ago, today the Aral Sea no longer exists. Human activities caused its desiccation and the formation of a huge new desert, the Aralkum, which can be regarded as one of the greatest ecological catastrophes and - at the same time - the largest primary succession experiment of mankind. This volume brings together the results of international and interdisciplinary long-term studies on the new desert ecosystem and is divided into four main sections. The first section provides an overview of the physical characteristics of the area and covers geological, pedological, geomorphological and climatological aspects and their dynamics, especially dust-storm dynamics. The second focuses on the biotic aspects and highlights the spatial and temporal patterns of the flora and fauna. In the third section studies and projects aiming to combat desertification by phytomelioration and to develop strategies for the conservation of biodiversity are presented. The book is rounded off with a section providing a synthesis and conclusions.
