Abstract

Although the goal of this "Resource Atlas" is to describe the largest region of sand dunes in the western hemisphere in a single, easily accessible volume, this well-illustrated narrative would more appropriately be labeled a natural history of the Sandhills. Half the book describes the region's physical environment, including climate, geology, and water supply, and another quarter treats flora and fauna.
