Review

"This is a volume that would be a worthwhile addition to the bookshelf of anyone looking for a reliable reference work on Nevada government and politics. It will appeal to anyone seeking to understand those subjects in the context of a turbulent past which, in many ways, is strikingly unique among states of the West and the nation." - Western Historical Quarterly "In Nevada, as elsewhere, historical and environmental forces have influenced government and politics. Michael W. Bowers' book succeeds in capturing the dynamics of this process. This concise work explains how Nevada government actually works and how the area's history has shaped its political culture." - Journal of the West"
