From 海角乱伦社区Territory鈥檚 nail-bitingly close referenda for statehood to the rise and subsequent erasure of German language media, Atlas of Iowa examines the state鈥檚 geography, demographics, agriculture, and political/cultural patterns. Drawing upon archival materials and synthesizing little-known secondary sources, the authors of this thematic atlas have pulled together a comprehensive map series that depicts Iowa鈥檚 complex, unique story of challenging human-environmental interaction. The narrative themes are conveyed both verbally and visually, allowing many of the state鈥檚 cultural debates to come alive. From Iowa鈥檚 rise to becoming a national leader in aspects of higher education and green energy development to its oft-critiqued social fabric, Atlas of Iowa reveals the rich, complicated, and diverse heritage of the Hawkeye State.
鈥Atlas of Iowa is a high value and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, governmental, and college/university library American Maps/Atlas collections.鈥濃Midwest Book Review
鈥淎 highly detailed and fascinating picture of the state of Iowa. Lavishly illustrated with graphs and supported by historical statistics, this is a book that should be on the desk of anyone who writes about or who wants to know more about Iowa.鈥濃擬ichael Tidemann, Indianola Independent Advocate
