The ferocious Taklamakan desert in Central Asia, one of the largest sandy deserts in the world and the harshest on earth, is known by the Chinese as the "desert of death" or the "place of no return." Its unknown depths are said to be haunted by demons and spirits and legend has it that ancient cities filled with treasure lie lost and buried beneath its dunes. The only certainty is that no human being in history had ever crossed it from end to end. But, after five years of planning, in 1993, Charles Blackmore together with a team of British, Chinese and Uyghurs and a caravan of thirty camels, set out to accomplish the seemingly impossible: they would cross the Taklamakan, west to east, directly through its unmapped, untrodden centre. Conquering the Desert of Death is at once a deeply personal journey and the story of an adventure that will go down in history as one of the great achievements of exploration.

But when sickness comes, when lack is knocking at my door, when I find myself in the valley of the shadow of death, that is not the time to turn my back on faith. Those are the moments when my walk in faith becomes more real than ever. Faith does not stop when trouble comes; that's when faith truly begins. God promises good things to all believers. But he never promises a life free of trials or problems. In fact, regardless of what we do or how strong our faith is in good times, bad times will come. And it's when we walk through these spiritual deserts that the true strength of our faith is revealed. Aldo Sarti knows what it's like to face these dark times, to walk through deserts. In Conquering Deserts: Getting through Life's Darkest Days with God by Our Side, Aldo uses well-known stories from the Bible and incidents from his own life to show that God is always with us, especially during the most trying times. When we face life's most difficult challenges—divorce, financial trouble, losing loved ones—we also stand to receive faith's most precious rewards. Conquering Deserts shows readers how and why to keep their faith during the darkest times in their lives. Spiritual deserts cannot be avoided, but we can get through them, conquer them, and leave them in the past forever.

In The Conquest of the Sahara, Douglas Porch tells the story of France's struggle to explore and dominate the great African desert at the turn of the century. Focusing on the conquest of the Ahaggar Tuareg, a Berber people living in a mountain area in central Sahara, he goes on to describe the bizarre exploits of the desert's explorers and conquerors and the incompetence of the French military establishment. Porch summons up a world of oases, desert forts and cafés where customers paid the dancer by licking a one-franc piece and sticking it on her forehead. The Conquest of the Sahara reveals the dark side of France's "civilizing mission" into this vast terrain, and at the same time, weaves a rich tale of extravagant hopes, genius and foolhardiness.
