The Atlas highlights the peoples and cultures  economy and land  and socio-political landscape of Wisconsinfrom Native American mounds to weather hazards to labor history. Situated at the intersections of natural and cultural regions  Wisconsin has always been an area \"on thecutting edge.\" It formed a boundary between the glaciated and unglaciated regions of North America  which evolved into the \"tension line\" between the Northwoods and the Central Plains. It later became the meeting ground among Native American nations  and a new home to diverse groups of immigrant settlers  who introduced cutting-edge political and economic ideas to the rest of the country. Wisconsin still serves as a borderland between the agricultural Midwest  the industrial Great Lakes  and the Northern forests. The Atlas explores the history of indigenous cultures  immigrant groups  natural resources  agriculture  industries  boundaries  political and social movements  and government institutions in lively detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983716184117,"sku":"ByrdShop_029915940X","price":37.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780299159405.jpg?v=1770807182","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/wisconsins-past-and-present-a-historical-atlas","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
