The second edition of Dreams of Duneland beautifully illustrates the dunes region, from the past to the present. Since the first edition, the Indiana Dunes area has become an official national park. With more than 400 stunning images, many of them new, Dreams of Duneland showcases the breathtaking sand dunes, as well as the rest of this newly minted park, which includes savanna, wetland, prairie, and forest and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. Kenneth J. Schoon reveals how the preserved area of the Indiana Dunes National Park—which sits by residential communities, businesses, and cultural attractions—has a long history of competition among farmers, fur traders, industrialists, and conservationists. Featuring a new foreword and afterword and many updates throughout, this gorgeous new edition will have you planning a trip to the extraordinary Indiana Dunes.

Download or read book Indiana Dunes written by Daniel Shepardson and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a hybrid nature photography and natural history book about the Indiana Dunes:1.It combines stunning photographs of nature with text that illustrates and describes the natural history of the Indiana Dunes.2.It focuses on four unique aspects of the Indiana Dunes: Beach, dunes, woods, and wetlands. 3.It is presented as a legacy to the Indiana Dunes and as an inspiration to readers to both explore and learn about the dunes.The book is organized around the four Dunes' environments of beach, dunes, woods, and wetlands. This takes the reader on a journey through the dunes that closely follows their geological formation and evolution and plant succession. We start our journey at the beach in Chapter 1, Beach. Here lake and land meet, the starting point for the formation of dunes, an environmentally harsh and challenging place to survive. Sand transported and deposited on the beach by waves and current is then moved inland by wind, resulting in the formation of sand dunes, which are explored in Chapter 2, Dunes. Here, the formation and types of dunes are experienced. As vegetation takes root and stabilizes the dunes, forests eventually grow. In Chapter 3, Woods the role plant ecology and succession plays in the dunes is shown. Oak savannas and spring wildflowers are seen. Finally, in Chapter 4, Wetlands, the diversity and beauty of the wetlands that form between dunes and in low-lying areas is revealed. Wetlands are perhaps the most biologically diverse area of the dunes, but probably the most overlooked and underappreciated area. Taken together, the four chapters take the reader on a journey that closely follows 6,000 years of natural history.
Download or read book Sketches in Duneland written by Earl H. Reed and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dune region that extends along the wild coasts of Lake Michigan, and in the back country contiguous to it, is a land of allurement. The strange human characters, whose little drift-wood shanties are scattered along the shore, and among the sandhills, and whose isolated retreats are further inland, are difficult to become acquainted with, except in a most casual way. They look upon the chance wayfarer with suspicion and disfavor. The sketches in this volume are culled from the experiences and reflections of many happy days that were spent in this mystic land. In such a retreat we may find refuge from the town, from the nerve-racking noise and stifling smoke, and from the artificialities and the social illusions that becloud our daily lives.

Download or read book Sea of Sand written by Michael M. Geary and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sculpted into graceful contours by countless centuries of wind and water, the Great Sand Dunes sprawl along the eastern fringes of the vast San Luis Valley of south-central Colorado. Covering an area of nearly thirty square miles, they are the tallest aeolian, or wind-produced, dunes in North America, towering 750 feet above the valley floor. With the addition of the enormous Baca Ranch and other adjacent lands, the dunes—originally designated as a National Monument in 1932—attained official National Park status in 2004. In Sea of Sand, Michael M. Geary guides readers on a historical journey through this unique ecosystem, which includes an array of natural and cultural wonders, from the main dunefield and verdant wetlands to the summits of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Described by explorer Zebulon Pike as “a sea in a storm” and by frontier photographer William Henry Jackson as “a curious and very singular phase of nature’s freak,” the Great Sand Dunes are a nexus of more than 10,000 years of human history, from Paleolithic big-game hunters to nomadic Native Americans, from Spanish conquistadores and transcontinental explorers to hard-rock miners and modern-day tourists in motor homes. Like these successive waves of visitors, Sea of Sand follows the water, analyzing its critical role in the settlement and development of the region. Geary also describes the profound impact that waves of human use and settlement have had on the land—which ultimately inspired the early grassroots efforts by San Luis Valley citizens to protect the dunes from further exploitation. He examines as well the more recent legislative effort led by an unprecedented coalition of local, state, and federal agencies and organizations, including The Nature Conservancy and the National Park Service, to secure the Great Sand Dunes’ national park designation. Amply illustrated, Sea of Sand is the definitive history of the natural, cultural, and political forces that helped shape this incomparable landscape.

Book excerpt: The "sacred sands" are the Indiana Dunes, the natural landscape of shifting sand hills, tamarack swamp, oak forest, gull, tern, spring lupine, and prickly pear cactus on the southern coast of Lake Michigan. For almost a century the people of Chicago came here to celebrate this primitive and sacred center, which seemed to redeem the urban machine through evocation of the unity and interdependency of living things.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sand Dunes of Indiana: The Story of an American Wonderland Told by Camera and Pen "The Dune Country of Indiana represents the work of one hundred times one thousand years, by such artists as glaciers, water, wind, and sun, until you find there a park, perfect, beautiful; a fairy land; a land of dreams; a land of remoteness; a land of solitude; a land of long beaches; a land on whose frail shores strong waves beat at times with thunderous roar; a land so fair and fine no city park could be made equal it by the expenditure of countless millions." - Theodore Jessup.
