Regions in Transition: The Northern Great Plains and the Pacific Northwest in the Great Depression. By Rolland Dewing. (Lanham: University Press of America, 2006. x, 245 pp. Paper, $39.95, ISBN 978-0-7618-3544-8.)

During the 1930s, Rolland Dewing participated in the dust bowl migration from North Dakota to Washington State. Now a professor emeritus at Chadron State College in Nebraska, he considers that migration within the contexts of geography, politics, economics, and demography.

Thus, Regions in Transition reviews the severe drought on the northern Plains that correlated with the dramatic emergence of the Pacific Northwest.
