This book examines the landforms, soils, and geomorphological processes of deserts, which cover over 20% of Earth's land surface. Despite their vastness and the significant body of literature on the topic, deserts remain underrepresented in comprehensive geomorphological surveys, with notable exceptions like Walther's Das Gesetz der Wiistenbildung (1924), Cotton's Climatic Accidents in Landscape Making (1942), and Tricart and Cailleux's Le Modelé des Régions Sèches (1961). Our study builds on these works, incorporating our field experiences in deserts across North America, South America, North Africa, and Pakistan, while primarily drawing on English-language research and emphasizing contemporary geomorphological systems at different scales. By focusing on present processes shaping landforms and soils, we have given less attention to regional chronologies of landform development, a consequence of our selective approach. The field of desert geomorphology still grapples with speculative theories, such as parallel slope retreat and pervasive wind erosion, which often overshadow empirical evidence. We aim to provide grounded generalizations, clarify contested ideas, and pose meaningful questions to establish a baseline for future research, hoping to contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamic processes shaping desert landscapes. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1973.

Guitars inspire cult-like devotion: an aficionado can tell you precisely when and where their favorite instrument was made, the wood it is made from, and that wood’s unique effect on the instrument’s sound. In The Guitar, Chris Gibson and Andrew Warren follow that fascination around the globe as they trace guitars all the way back to the tree. The authors take us to guitar factories, port cities, log booms, remote sawmills, Indigenous lands, and distant rainforests, on a quest for behind-the-scenes stories and insights into how guitars are made, where the much-cherished guitar timbers ultimately come from, and the people and skills that craft those timbers along the way. Gibson and Warren interview hundreds of people to give us a first-hand account of the ins and outs of production methods, timber milling, and forest custodianship in diverse corners of the world, including the Pacific Northwest, Madagascar, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Japan, China, Hawaii, and Australia. They unlock surprising insights into longer arcs of world history: on the human exploitation of nature, colonialism, industrial capitalism, cultural tensions, and seismic upheavals. But the authors also strike a hopeful note, offering a parable of wider resonance—of the incredible but underappreciated skill and care that goes into growing forests and felling trees, milling timber, and making enchanting musical instruments, set against the human tendency to reform our use (and abuse) of natural resources only when it may be too late. The Guitar promises to resonate with anyone who has ever fallen in love with a guitar.
