The sixth Carnival of the Arid, the blog carnival devoted to the deserts of the world, is coming soon. However, the deadline is a leisurely 8 days away, which means you still have time to get your desert-related blog posts, podcasts, photo essays, ruminations, rants, screeds, and sobersided somethingorothers submitted.
As is traditional, here is a quotation of the canonical Carnival of the Arid mission statement:
Submissions should have something to do with a desert somewhere in the world. (If you’re not sure whether your work is desert-related, check out this definition at Wikipedia, and if you’re still not sure, send it in anyway.) Submissions can be scientific in nature, or history, or travelog. Images are welcome, photographic or otherwise. Discussions of culture and politics are welcome if they’re desert-related. The one restriction, other than geographical, is that — at least when I’m compiling it — paeans to destroying the desert probably won’t make it. (Developers and ORVers take note.) Paeans to preserving or protecting the desert are fine, as are alerts of current pressing issues.
So spread the word. Submissions can be linked here in comments or emailed to me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). If you know of someone whose work might qualify, let them know, or let me know, or both. Retweet and email and link from Facebook and send telegrams.
See the first sentence of that second blockquoted paragraph? So why are you not spreading the word already? Thanks.
Will enthusiastically post this time - was run over by events last month.
Chris, I’d like to submit this post:
