"Natural productiveness of most of the soil in America's Corn Belt is on the decline. This publication treats of erosion as a contributing cause. Erosion-control practices, now employed on the extensive project areas of the soil Conservation Service, are discussed. The region includes a part of the vast central valley in the upper reaches of the Mississippi River and considerable land lying adjacent to its main tributaries, the Missouri and the Ohio."--Foreword.

His fine-grained readings open vistas into German critical theory and the visual arts, revealing the miniature to be one of the few genuinely innovative modes of spatialized writing created by modernism.
