On Common Ground: Learning and Living in the Loess Hills. This item is unavailable.On Common Ground: Learning and Living in the Loess Hills

On Common Ground is an exciting multidisciplinary, multimodal project and partnership between the arts and sciences. This convergence of writers, naturalists, artists, and various -ologists took place in the fall of 2021 in the northern Loess Hills. These hills form a narrow band along the eastern edge of the Missouri River floodplain for approximately 200 miles, stretching much of the Iowa border. Sculpted from the deepest deposits of wind-borne glacial silt in the United States, these Hills remain home to a significant collection, both in size and number, of Iowa’s remnant prairies.

Both editors live and work closely with the area of the Loess Hills, as teachers, environmentalists, parents, and writers. Contributors: John T. Price, Dan O’Brien, Connie Mutel, Patrick Hicks, Vincent Miller, Melanie Krieps Mergen, Norma Wilson, Kristen Drahos, Jim Helfers, Aric Michael Ping, Daryl Smith, William M. Zales, Mike Langley, Jerry Wilson, Nan Wilson, Scott R. Moats, as well as a Foreword by James Schaap.
