At first glance, nothing moves in the desert. This is the "Dead Heart" of Central Australia. But the so-called Dead Heart has its secrets. Hidden in this harsh environment is an extraordinary and diverse wildlife. Often its only trace is a pattern in the sand.
This book follows in the footsteps of the explorer, Charles Sturt, who saw the desert as a truly dead place. Through beautiful, evocative linocut illustrations, we revisit those hostile desertscapes to take a closer look. We discover many fascinating creatures and their ingenious methods of survival in this unique habitat.
