[aisle] Location of books on deserts

[Christine Wilson]

While I agree wholeheartedly with the above opinions, another step might be
to look at the point of view of each item. If they are discussions of how
those features formed geologically and their place in their ecosystems,
then they belong in Geography. If they relate how those locations played a
part in development of their relative locations or conflicts among people
in them, their "pure" Dewey location is probably correct, but again, you
probably want to put them where they get the most traction. If you have
more than one copy of an item, you could put one in one section and one in
the other, and see if there is a difference in their circulation rate.
