Few names evoke scenes of such breathtaking natural beauty as does that of the Ozarks. The images collected in this text, chosen from 100s of photographs submitted by both professional and amateur photographers, showcase virtually the entire Ozark region - Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Spectacular river bluffs and rock formations, crystal-clear streams and lakes, beautiful waterfalls, historic covered bridges and mills, and wildlife are just some of the exquisite scenes pictured in this book. Charles Farmer's introduction to the volume provides background information on the Ozark region and its unique terrain. He also discusses the various measures that concerned individuals have undertaken since the early 1930s to protect the Ozark environment, as well as the necessity for continuing preservation efforts.
