Creating Community expands the written histories of Springfield that have long overlooked this minority in the local community. It also adds to the growing study of small Jewish communities around the United States. Springfield is both Southern and Midwestern in flavor and this is reflected in the Jewish community's development that has examples of both. Jews have been part of the economic development of the town since the 1860s. Since then, they have also been involved in fraternal and social organizations, politics, and education. This is not a complete history, but its purpose is not to be encyclopedic, rather it is to exemplify how this minority group were part of the growth the Queen City of the Ozarks.

Gargoyle Country explores the fascinating geological history of southwestern Missouri for general readers. Gargoyles are the charming rock outcrops that flank many roads and highways in this region. Numerous colorful illustrations and useful maps and descriptions direct readers to specific places where the reader can see and touch real geology. Because the region is now heavily populated, historic buildings and various "rockworks" use rocks that once were plentiful but now hard to find in an urbanized environment.
