Synopsis

Hot Desert explores the fascinating world of hot desert environments, delving into the climate, geography, and geology that shape these arid landscapes. It examines how global climate patterns, such as Hadley cells and rain shadows, contribute to desertification. The book also highlights the extreme temperature regimes and the impact of minimal rainfall on soil, vegetation, and the unique adaptations of desert biota. These seemingly inhospitable regions are not barren wastelands but complex ecosystems.

 
The book investigates the geological history of major hot deserts, like the Sahara and the Arabian, and sheds light on how these regions have evolved over time. Readers will discover the surprising ways in which desert surfaces regulate temperature and how plants and animals have adapted to survive in extreme conditions. By presenting meteorological data, satellite imagery, and ecological studies, Hot Desert emphasizes the need to view these regions as integral components of the global climate system.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an overview of hot desert distribution, then analyzing atmospheric processes and thermal characteristics, and culminating in a discussion of challenges and opportunities. It connects to geography, biology, and environmental science, making it a valuable resource for understanding the dynamics of desert ecosystems and their relevance to global climate change.

One Mile at a Time - A Memoir of...

Edward M. Rahill

You don't outrun grief. You can't just escape from a dark night of the soul. You have to drive through it…one courageous mile at a time.
Ed Rahill's life has veered off course, and while he dreams of becoming the man his Grandmother taught him to be, he's become haunted by losing the love of his life, and is struggling to have faith in himself.
With his foot on the pedal of GT's since he was a young boy, he enters an outlaw road race across America in the tradition of a Cannonball Run.
Ed and his partner Tim didn't think they stood a chance to win — "We just didn't want to give up on ourselves." Facing the most aggressive, nationwide highway patrol effort in U.S. history, Rahill was presented with the choice we all face at some time in our lives: succumb to our fears of failure and inadequacy, or find the fortitude to go on and leave the world a better place because we are here.
This story is about more than the thrill of speeding through the New Mexico desert at 140mph+. It's about survival, redemption, and discovering who you are when everything else falls away. One Mile at a Time unfolds with heart-pounding adrenaline and deep emotional truth. From Boston to San Diego, Rahill's record-breaking journey becomes a meditation on life, purpose, and the pursuit of meaning in a fast-changing world.
If you loved Ford v Ferrari, this is your next must-read.
Perfect for racing fans, historical memoir readers, road trip lovers, and anyone drawn to stories of resilience, purpose, and redemption.
For everyone who's ever dug their way out of a dark night of the soul, with their heart set on becoming a better version of themselves to leave the world a better place — this is your story.
