      abstract = {The book contains detailed descriptions of the unique  desert environment with particular emphasis on vegetation  and survival strategies of plants. Nine expeditions through  the Southwest of Western Australia over a period of 15  years triggered the interest of the authors to explore also  some deserts in the region, which leads to three further  excursions into the sandy dunes of the desert. Observations  of plant life in the deserts focused not only on  identifying plants, but also on gaining some understanding  of the aboriginal desert people of centuries past, and  their own survival strategies in such extreme conditions.  Also part of the Canning Stock Route was followed and  explored, but the most rewarding and interesting finds were  done criss-crossing the desert away from highways, tracks,  and paths. The most remote areas showed species richness  and surviving strategies which by far exceeded  expectations.},
