Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Printing. 294 Pages. Tight bright book. As the land of milk and home-baked cookies, Utah might be expected to have high rates of marriage and fertility. That the divorce rate is also higher than the national average is just one of many surprising facts documented in this book. Other examples include the relative non-participation of Utah fathers in raising their children and the fact that the Beehive State has the lowest per pupil expenditure for public education in the country. There are other noteworthy findings-some significant, others whimsical. For instance, Utahns drink half as much coffee as the average American yet consume twice as many marshmallows. From the profound to the humorous, Utah in the 1990s provides both bedrock information for policy-makers and historians and enlightening insights for general readers.
