Product Description
The Iowa state preserves system was created in 1965; adecade later, thirty preserves had been dedicated, including “sixnative prairies, a native White Pine stand, the state's only Sphagnumbog, a Balsam Fir stand, some of the oldest exposed rock outcrops inthe world, an ancient fort, a fen, several Indian mound groups and ahistorical cemetery.” This new guide to all ninety Iowa statepreserves—biological, geological, archaeological, historical, andscenic—describes the state's most treasured prairies and forests,quartzite outcrops and ice caves, and Indian mounds and wetlands aswell as such historic sites as Fort Atkinson and Montauk.

Each entry includes two-color, progressively scaled maps giving thelocation of the preserve within the state, within its county, relativeto a nearby town (with a recommended driving route), and on the locallandscape (using USGS 7.5-minute topo maps). Also included are writtendirections (using 911 street names and signs); a description of thepreserve's size, features, and history; a list of nearby or similarpreserves, parks, natural areas, and other attractions; recommendedreadings; and contact information. (There are a few exceptions forprivately owned or fragile preserves.) For travelers, a map in theintroduction numbers all the preserves both geographically andalphabetically by name.

Although the preserves system emphasizes preservation rather thanrecreation, some preserves do have formal trails; some allow hunting,horseback riding, and canoeing; a few have museums or naturecenters. This comprehensive guide allows visitors to plan active andinformative visits to sites that highlight Iowa's natural and culturalheritage.

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Iowa," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Iowa in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Iowa when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Iowa, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
