Each article in Iowa's Nature Series seeks to serve as a one-stop shop for introductory information on many dimensions of Iowa's biological and geological diversity. Illustrations for the publication were beautifully created by pre-medical illustration students at Iowa State. More than 35 authors hailing from all corners of Iowa contributed to the series.
