What makes a desert, a desert?

Everyone has an image of “the desert.” It’s usually a hot, dry place with not too much happening. But what is a desert, really? In this program, look for a broader definition of the term “desert.” The show may challenge your ideas about the way you look at Mother Nature’s more arid regions. There are different seasons, different plants and animals, and even different types of deserts.
