"Traveling across Kansas reveals a surprising variety of landscapes that might seem puzzling to an unacquainted observer. With his extraordinary storytelling skills, Keith Miller explains simply and yet accurately how Kansas geological history sculpted the topography, richly illustrated by Scott Bean's exquisite photographs. Kansas Landscapes will open your eyes to the hidden secrets behind the beautiful scenery!"-- Karin Goldberg , Department of Geology at Kansas State University "Think you know Kansas? Check out Scott Bean's dramatic photos. Read Keith Miller's cogent description of how the landscapes formed. Then get out there and see them for yourself."-- Rex Buchanan , coauthor of Petroglyphs of the Smoky Hills "A learned and beautifully illustrated tour of Kansas geology. Keith Miller explains why Kansas looks like Kansas."-- George Frazier , author of The Last Wild Places of Kansas "This book should be revisited before trips to any of Kansas's diverse landscapes.

Beyond descriptions and photography, readers are introduced to the natural history of the state (geology, botany, zoology, and human interactions) proving author Keith Miller's claim that, 'All we see becomes a story.'"-- Stephen O. Moshier , coauthor of Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins: Cosmology, Geology, and Biology in Christian Perspective "'Geology is the art of storytelling,' writes Keith Miller in Landscapes of Kansas . As a geologist, Miller uses the written word to help us fathom the 'deep history' behind the land as we experience it today, then he turns the project over to photographer Scott Bean, whose wonderful color images provide vivid evidence of the beauty and diversity of the Kansas landscape. A story well told!"-- Jim Locklear , author of In the Country of the Kaw: A Personal Natural History of the American Plains.
