J , . :Th,e Ozark Highland of Missouri was selected for investigation because of its 

 unusual wealth of geographic responses and because little is known concerning its con- 

 ditions and possibilities. ■ 



The purpose of such a study is twofold : to furnish an adequate explanation of 

 the conditions of life in a given area, and to contribute proved statements which will 

 aid, , in.; wprting out fundamental principles . 



The book is divided into three parts. The first is an outline of the environment. 

 Only those' things which are pertinent to an understanding of the conditions under which 

 the people live are introduced. 



The second part considers the influence of environment on the settlement and develop- 

 ment of the different parts of the highland. 



i: The third part is a study of the economic conditions as they exist today. In conclusion 

 a forecast is offered of the lines along which the future of the region will be worked out. 



A valuable feature of the volume is the 44 figures in the text and 26 plates.
