The landscape architect has great responsibility in creating projects that don't undermine the fragile natural balance of arid areas. The understanding of these kinds of landscapes will be of enormous help in preserving our world and the quality of life of the population that inhabits such regions. This book presents numerous examples of oases, gardens and agriculture in the desert. In short, it provides
a demonstration of how it is possible to work within a hostile landscape.
