    A bit of an odd request, but I am looking for good books or other sources which describe pre-20th century settlements and societies which are both

    (a) located in desert climates, and
    (b) exist within fairly high mountain ranges.

    I am less interested in the history but more how they worked as a society - including their technology, their lifestyles, and so forth.

    The mysterious "star dune" in the Sahara desert is on the move.

    @popsci reports: "Morocco's Lala Lallia — one of the world's oldest known 'star dunes' — is slowly inching west."

    "New research that will be presented Monday, 16 Oct., at the Geological Society of America’s GSA Connects 2023 meeting describes how a series of serendipitous environmental factors allowed an ancient Saharan civilization, the Garamantian Empire, to extract groundwater hidden in the subsurface, sustaining the society for nearly a millennia until the water was depleted."

    Time for a classic post

    Hi! My name is (exceedingly private), but you can call me Temerity because I think that is a fun word that is not used enough. I and care for feral cats, I , I own too many and like to print and distribute . I live in a suburb and love learning about even though I am a mere novice on the subject. Estoy aprendiendo y me encantaría tener compañeros de idioma para practicar.

    I call myself an and I am deeply interested in learning with my communities how we can take care of each other outside of the long arm of the law.

    I hate prisons, cops, fascists, terfs and dairy products, although I think it's more accurate to say dairy products hate me.

    Follow me if you want cute anecdotes about suburban organizing, lying on resumes, garden photos and radical literature.
