Wisconsins Foundations

A classic is back in print—not just for geology majors!

Most people in Wisconsin share a deep appreciation of the shape and composition of their familiar landscapes-the abundance of fresh water, the fertile soils, the northern forests, the varied landforms. All these features relate to a process that is long, complex, and still in progress. Wisconsin's Foundations is just the book for a broad audience of interested people who want to know more about the origins, evolution, and geological underpinnings of the Wisconsin landscape.
