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 people who want to know more about the origins, evolution, and geological underpinnings of the Wisconsin landscape. This book has received awards from the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Council for Wisconsin Writers.
