2011 "Booklist" Editor's Choice, reference category
The Great Plains, stretching northward from Texas into Canada,
is a region that has been understudied and overlooked. The" Atlas
of the Great Plains," however, brings a new focus to North
America's midcontinent. With more than three hundred original
full-color maps, accompanied by extended explanatory text, this
collection chronicles the history of the Great Plains, including
political and social developments. Far more than simply the
geography of the region, this atlas explores a myriad of subjects
from Native Americans to settlement patterns, agricultural ventures
to voting records, and medical services to crime rates. These
detailed and beautifully designed maps convey the significance of
the region, capturing the essence of its land and life. The only
current and comprehensive atlas of the Great Plains region, it is
also the first atlas to include both the United States and Canada,
showing the region's full length and breadth.
