The Great Plains, stretching northward from Texas into Canada, is a region that has been understudied and overlooked. The Atlas of the Great Plains, however, brings a new focus to North America’s midcontinent. With more than three hundred original full-color maps, accompanied by extended explanatory text, this collection chronicles the history of the Great Plains, including political and social developments. Far more than simply the geography of the region, this atlas explores a myriad of subjects from Native Americans to settlement patterns, agricultural ventures to voting records, and medical services to crime rates. These detailed and beautifully designed maps convey the significance of the region, capturing the essence of its land and life. The only current and comprehensive atlas of the Great Plains region, it is also the first atlas to include both the United States and Canada, showing the region’s full length and breadth.

Review\n"For anyone researching Nebraska history, this book will prove to be an essential tool as it carefully analyzes the state's data from prehistory through statehood."—Erik J. Wright, True West\n"Want to know where earthquakes have rattled Nebraska since statehood? There’s a map for that. How about the paths of tornadoes across the state? The origins of foreign-born Nebraskans? Areas state-designated as short of physicians, dentists and pharmacists? Or how horses have migrated from rural to urban areas? There are maps for all that. In fact, the atlas—the first of Nebraska published in more than three decades—chronicles the history of the state with more than 300 original, detailed and full-color maps accompanied by explanatory text. The coffee-table volume pokes into myriad subjects, including the state's geologic and prehistoric roots, American Indians and the fitful transition from territory to state."—David Hendee, Omaha World-Herald Published On: 2017-12-31\n"It has been several decades since an effort has been made to produce an atlas of this kind. The updated data and techniques used in the production of this book are apparent when compared to the previous atlases. Overall, this book contains such a generous array of maps that it truly possesses something for everyone. Whether you're a cartophile or just someone living "The Good Life," the Atlas of Nebraska is a useful and enjoyable addition to any reference library."—Patrick Haynes, Nebraska History\n"Gorgeous. . . . Packed with scholarly resources, the book also offers an accessible resource for trivia buffs and those who eat, sleep and breathe Nebraska."—Nina Buck, Nebraska Life\n"Readers interested in the history of Nebraska will find the atlas a useful reference tool."—Russell S. Kirby, Historical Geography\n“The unassuming title of this atlas does not provide a hint of the diverse richness of its contents. Its abundant maps, its survey of our state’s geologic, prehistoric, Native American, and territorial and recent state history, as well as our climate and ecology, are just the beginning of a fact-filled treasure trove. What a wonderful gift to celebrate our state’s 150th birthday!”—Paul A.

From the time English settlers first landed in America to the most recent Presidential primaries, geography has played a key role in United States politics. Where we locate our governmental institutions and how we form cities, towns, counties, and states affects the government's operation; and where we live, work, shop, visit, and interact influences our views on public policy issues. Highlighting geography's importance in shaping this country's history, Political Geography of the United States traces America's political geography from the colonial era to the present day.

Focusing on the relationship between location and political activity, the subdiscipline of political geography offers a unique vantage point from which to examine the development of the American political system. This comprehensive text traces the theory and practice of American politics from the colonial era to the present day. The authors highlight the key role of geography in such crucial areas as the establishment of the nation's governing principles; the formation of political parties and coalitions; electoral history; the development of America's political economy; and its role in the world economy. Serving as a springboard for research and forecasting, the book also ventures into the future to discuss possible shifts in the political geography of twenty-first-century America.
