In this book fifteen authors offer a wealth of information based on numerous in-depth studies on the morphology, ecology and biology offairy circles and the organisms which create, use and maintain them. Other regular vegetation patterns of the Namib Desert and neighbouring biomes are introduced and discussed, as well. Stunning photographs invite the reader to enjoy a journey tothe diversity of fairy circle landscapes in Namibia, Angola, and South Africa.
