"White Sands National Monument in south-central New Mexico provides a unique desert experience for the half-million tourists who visit each year. Schneider-Hector's history of White Sands, one of the world's greatest concentrations of gypsum dunes, enhances that experience by clearly explaining the geological formation of the dunes, the interaction of plants and animals, and the effects of human intervention"--Back cover.
