The Sheltering Desert
by Henno Martin
Henno Martin is a Geologist who before World War Two was famous for finding and supplying water to farms in Namibia. During the war he spent a two year exile in the Namibia desert with his partner Hermann. What kept them sane during those two years of survival in the desert was mapping it. And this is a book about his experiences in the desert. For me the book demonstrates their deep respect and understanding of nature.
