By Bruce Grubbs. 1994, Falcon Press, 197pp, 8x5". "Are there things to do in Nevada other than chase aliens, gamble or buffet? Many would say no, but author Bruce Grubbs disagrees. He presents 80 fine hikes thoughout the State of Nevada, including 20 in close proximity to Las Vegas, including the striking Red Rock area, a mere 30 minutes north of the Strip. This book contains clear maps and directions for the hikes, rates their difficulty, and adds other pertinent info needed to ensure you survive the experience.

By Leonard E. Goodall and Don W. Driggs. 1996, University of Nebraska Press, 253pp, 9x6". Examines the many seeming contradictions of Nevada's political character. This has always been a one-industry state: Once it was mining, now the casinos dominate the economy. Until a few years ago, Nevada was defined by isolated mining communities, resulting in an individualistic political culture where every man was self-reliant and government was weak, corrupt or non-existent. Recently, urban interests have come to dominate, and an "instant government" has emerged, but many things remain unchanged. As in the boom days of the mining era, the current government and economy are based on the promise of ever increasing revenues. Nevada is still the land of "resource extraction," but now it mines out-of-state tourists, and the vein might not last forever. -- Glenn Campbell . (New)
