520    This book is a collection of papers presented at the 9th 
       International Conference of Military Geoscience that was 
       held in 2011. The conference included discussion on a 
       diverse range of geosciences, including military history, 
       military geology, teaching geology from a military 
       prospective, geological influence on the battlefield, and 
       environmental and cultural issues related to management of
       military lands. Geology and geography have played a 
       significant role in military history, from providing the 
       stone for primitive tools and weapons, to the utilization 
       of terrain in offensive and defensive strategies. Specific
       to this volume, deserts comprise nearly a third of the 
       Earth's surface and have been the site of numerous battles
       where the dust, heat, and a lack of food and water have 
       provided challenges to military leaders and warriors. This
       book examines the role of deserts in past and modern 
       warfare, the problems and challenges in managing military 
       lands in desert regions, and how desert environmental 
       conditions can impact military equipment and personnel. 
       This proceedings volume should be of interest to scholars,
       professionals, and those interested in military history, 
       warfare, geology, geography, cultural resources, general 
       science, and military operations.
