Acknowledgments
Sincere appreciation is expressed to Donald L. Koch, state geologist and chief of the Geological Survey Bureau; to Larry L. Bean, administrator of the Energy and Geological Resources Division; and to Larry J. Wilson, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, all of whom supported this edition and coordinated the arrangements for its publication. The exceptional images within are the generous work of the photographers noted, with special acknowledgment to Gary Hightshoe, Iowa State University; Drake Hokanson, formerly with the University of Iowa; Donald Poggensee of Ida Grove; Douglas Harr, Iowa Department of Natural Resources; and the "Land between Two Rivers" group at Iowa Public Television. The University of Iowa Dental Media group applied their skills to ice-age rodent jaws and mammoth molars. The high-quality illustrations and overall visual design crafted by artist Patricia J. Lohmann speak for themselves; her sense of style and insights into communication of information to the public are recognized and appreciated. Thanks are expressed to my colleagues Brian J. Witzke, for his expertise in large Pleistocene fauna, and Bernard E. Hoyer, Timothy J. Kemmis, and E. Arthur Bettis III for their longstanding support of this edition, numerous consultations, and detailed reviews of the manuscript.
Finally, I am grateful for the opportunity to prepare this book. The public and scientific community's response to A Regional Guide to Iowa Landforms in 1976 and the period of productive Quaternary research in Iowa since then fueled the decision to allocate time to preparing another volume. The opportunity to study the Earth, to inform and perhaps influence readers, while encouraged by talented, good-natured colleagues is a rare and appreciated combination.
