A field guide to the Sonoran Desert’s variety

The Sonoran Desert emerges here as a complex ecosystem, not simply a landscape of sand and cacti. Written by staff of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the guide ranges across the region’s biomes, wildlife, plants, geology, and cultures. More than 180 profiles introduce flora and fauna found across this 120,000-square-mile expanse, while 20 suggested field trips connect the natural-history material with opportunities to explore the area. The combination makes the book both a reference to the desert’s living variety and a practical introduction to places and subjects encountered in the field.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Nature enthusiasts interested in desert ecosystems and natural history
  • Explorers seeking field-trip ideas for the Sonoran Desert
  • Readers curious about the region’s plants, animals, geology, and cultures

Book overview

Prepare to be dazzled by the incredibly biodiverse life thriving and surviving in this immense desert.

Say "desert" and many folks will picture sand, clouds of dust, a smattering of cactuses, and perhaps a tenacious reptile or scorpion fighting for their thirsty lives. But Arizona's Sonoran Desert breaks those barren stereotypes. Sonoran Desert Explorer, penned by expert staff at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, introduces curious readers and intrepid explorers to the myriad "biomes, animals, plants, geology, and cultures they may come across" when exploring this 120,000-square-mile expanse.

With over 180 fun profiles of wild flora and fauna observed in this expanse, 20 adventurous field trip options for all nature enthusiasts, and riveting and inclusive natural history insights, Sonoran Desert Explorer will reveal to many just how biodiverse and colorful this desert truly is.
