Abstract
I On Desert Shores i is an outstanding resource for anyone interested in islands and arid landscapes, covering far-reaching topics that bridge archaeology, ecology, and history. Comprising an introduction, nine chapters (divided in three parts), and online appendices, this book is the first comprehensive investigation of the archaeology and history of the WMI. In modern times, the introduction of cats has been particularly devastating to WMI ecology, but Bowen notes that the future of the WMI is relatively bright as the islands are protected by Mexican law, scientists, conservationists, island enthusiasts, and their extreme environments.
