Chapters one through seven provide detailed descriptions on

and cropping history; human population, migration and development
of settlements; natural resources such as soils, water, and crops;
and environmental concerns. In particular, the first chapters cover

It highlights the way prairies (crops) have influenced, naturally
coaxed, and driven human activities to their own advantage.
