America From the Air: A Guide to the Landscape Along Your Route by Daniel Mathews and James S. Jackson (Houghton Mifflin, $18.95), deciphers the so-called landscape puzzles viewed from the window seat. Detailed maps and aerial photos pinpoint specific geographical highlights, and the text offers lessons in geology and history. Those big, shiny Quonset-hut-style barns in a swath of Iowa house large commercial hog operations, for example. And those perfectly executed crop circles? They're created by something called center pivot irrigation systems that round off the corners of farm fields.
