Professor of Ecology, University of Chicago 



This thorough and interesting geographical 

 study of the best-known feature of the Illi- 

 nois Valley has been prepared for the benefit 

 of those who are interested in knowing more 

 about the region than can be gathered by 

 personal observation in a few hours or a few 

 days spent in the park. The physical geog- 

 raphy of the park and its surroundings has 

 a number of features, such as the beautiful 

 little canyons, which are unusual in this part 

 of the country. Part I is given up to the 

 geography of the park, its surface features 

 and their origin, and the exploration, settle- 

 ment, and development of the region; Part 

 II, to the geology of the park; and Part III, 

 to its botany.

The Geography of the Ozark Highland of Missouri 



By CARL ORTWIN SAUER, the University of Michigan 

 (Publications of the Geographic Society of Chicago) 



The 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 working 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. 



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.
