Publisher's Synopsis
This interdisciplinary atlas reveals the treasures and the bounty sheltered within America's hills, valleys, plains, grasslands, deserts, and forests. It takes a detailed look at the agriculture itself and also at its effects on the people and cultures of the land past, present and future. It may help the reader find out what's growing, who's growing it, and what important changes have occurred in crop output over the years. Maps, photos, and other materials help to illustrate each topic or region.
