From Iowa Territory’s nail-bitingly close referenda for statehood to the rise and subsequent erasure of German language media, <i>Atlas of Iowa</i> examines the state’s 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’s complex, unique story of challenging human-environmental interaction. The narrative themes are conveyed both verbally and visually, allowing many of the state’s cultural debates to come alive. From Iowa’s rise to becoming a national leader in aspects of higher education and green energy development to its oft-critiqued social fabric, <i>Atlas of Iowa</i> reveals the rich, complicated, and diverse heritage of the Hawkeye State.<br>
