"This book attempts to further the reader's understanding of Illinois in three ways. First, it contributes to an awareness of the state's landscape variety by emphasizing geographical patterns of environmnetal and human phenomena. Second, it illustrates the intimate relationships between human populations and their habitat in the state. Third, it traces the development of these landscapes and relationships through time in order to determine how the state's present land and life came to be. To supplement the written descriptions and analyses, well over a hundred maps are included in the book."--Preface page vii.
