The third series of America the Beautiful is back in a revised edition. The books in this series are bursting with fascinating facts, updated statistics, and brand-new full-color photographs. America the Beautiful's dynamic design and editorial approach to the geography, history, people, economy, and government of each state will continue to make this award-winning series the one that students turn to first for researching school assignments. From the skyscrapers of St. Louis and Kansas City to the sprawling natural landscapes of the Ozarks and the Osage Prairie, Missouri is home to a breathtaking range of environments.
