Review :
"Barnstorming the Prairies deepens our understanding of the Midwest and attitudes toward it in the twentieth century. It is original, authoritative, and an engaging read."-Joni Kinsey, University of Iowa "Amazing, refreshing, and thought-provoking."-Leonardo Reviews "An important contribution to the literature on ethnographic and visual history."-CHOICE "Enthusiasts of visual culture, history, and rural life should welcome this book, which performs significant cultural work itself in reorienting scholarly views of the Midwest, and is a strong contribution to the current recentering of the Midwest in American cultural studies."-The Annals of Iowa "The in-depth text and the extensive visuals-aerial photos and maps, as well as painting, cinema, and architecture-together reveal aerial vision’s fundamental contribution to the regional identity of the Midwest."-Minnesota History "Illustrated with 19th-century bird’s-eye views, airplane route maps, and Grant Wood paintings, Barnstorming the Prairies shows how the modern invention of flight couldn’t have been better timed to shape modern painting, silent-era filmmaking, and even the planning of New Deal suburbs."-Architecture Minnesota "His specialty in art history, along with a deep understanding of geography, architecture, and planning, provides a well-rounded and thoughtful treatment of the topic that is truly multidisciplinary and relevant to any student or resident of the Great Plains."-Great Plains Quarterly "Productively combining cultural history, visual theory, science studies, art history and geography, the book will interest a diverse readership."-Visual Studies "Readers will learn about an important shift in American culture from a regional perspective."-The Michigan Historical Review "A model for analyzing aeriality across various media and in multiple guises, making it a comprehensive read that would prove useful in various courses, from art history to architectural and urban history."-Panorama
