Book Synopsis
A collection of essays in which a dozen historians and novelists present their impressions and concerns about “end of the century Nevada”. Human expectations and illusions are seen as a backdrop for today's Nevada as a new human frontier. As an overview of Nevada society, this study deals with culture as well as economics, with tradition as well as rapid population growth.

Trade Review
This is a little book with a lot to say about Nevada. . . . It is an intriguing potpourri of essays by twelve Nevada scholars that provides humanistic insight into the state’s history and culture and presents the place in a more favorable light.” —Robert W. Davenport, Pacific Historical Review, February 1990
