Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on an expansive journey through the lives of people living in hot geographical regions, from the dense equatorial forests to the scorching deserts. The author focuses on how the natural environment shapes the culture, economy, and survival of human populations. The book explores the diversity of life in the tropical rainforest, where dense vegetation provides sustenance and shelter for its inhabitants, including pygmies and other indigenous groups. As the landscape transitions to grasslands, the author examines the nomadic herding practices of the Zulu people, their customs, and their conflicts with European colonizers. In the parched deserts, the author introduces the resilient Bedouin tribes, who have adapted to extreme conditions through their mastery of desert navigation and their reliance on oases. The book delves into the challenges faced by European settlers in these unforgiving environments, highlighting the obstacles of disease, infrastructure, and cultural differences. Throughout, the author skillfully weaves together historical accounts, anthropological observations, and geographical insights to present a comprehensive and engaging exploration of human adaptation to diverse hot climates. This book offers a deep understanding of the interconnections between environment and culture, shedding light on the remarkable resilience and diversity of human life on Earth.
