Book excerpt: Nevada: A History of the Silver State has been named a CHOICE Outstanding Title. Michael S. Green, a leading Nevada historian, provides a detailed survey of the Silver State’s past, from the arrival of the early European explorers, to the predominance of mining in the 1800s, to the rise of world-class tourism in the twentieth century, and to more recent attempts to diversify the economy. Of the numerous themes central to Green’s analysis of Nevada’s history, luck plays a significant role in the state’s growth. The miners and gamblers who first visited the state all bet on luck. Today, the biggest contributor to Nevada’s tourist economy, gaming, still relies on that same belief in luck. Nevada’s financial system has generally been based on a “one industry” economy, first mining and, more recently, gaming. Green delves deeply into the limitations of this structure, while also exploring the theme of exploitation of the land and the overuse of the state’s natural resources. Green covers many more aspects of the Silver State’s narrative, including the dominance of one region of the state over another, political forces and corruption, and the citizens’ often tumultuous relationship with the federal government. The book will appeal to scholars, students, and other readers interested in Nevada history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steadfast Sisters of the Silver State was created by the Southern Nevada Women's History Project. Its volunteers combed the state for evidence of the lasting contributions by one hundred noteworthy Nevada women to the growth and culture of their communities. To paint a vivid profile of each woman, the organization's volunteers conducted interviews, unearthed private papers, consulted public records, and collected historical accounts from newspapers and oral histories. In these pages, the refined--such as Hollywood fashion designer Edith Head--rub elbows with the infamous, including adult-film star Marilyn Chambers. Each had an indelible connection to the Silver State. Likewise, the obscure--Rhyolite dance-hall pianist Pauline Atterbury Wilson and Storey County's one-room schoolhouse teacher, Elizabeth Davis McKay, who both lived in the nineteenth century--mingle with such modern Nevadans as state controller Kathy Augustine and casino magnates Jeanne Hood and Claudine Williams. Black singers and dancers including D.D. Cotton and Ruth Brown took the high moral ground in Nevada's slow but satisfying move toward racial equity in casino workplaces. Las Vegas educator Mabel Welch Hoggard and nurse Bertha Sanford Woodard, a Northern Nevadan, waged the same war in their respective spheres. Forty-two women authors are responsible for the rich accounts of these one hundred women. Each made her mark in arenas ranging from civil rights to animal rights, from casino ownership to casino operations, as well as in marketing, modeling, medicine, mining, the media, or the military. Also documented are female leaders in the arts, education, philanthropy, public safety, sports, politics, and government of Nevada. Steadfast Sisters continues the mission of a prior volume, Skirts that Swept the Desert Floor, by the Southern Region of the Nevada Women's History Project, which documented the achievements of another set of one hundred superlative Nevada women.

Book excerpt: Nevada’s iconic art form comes to life. Sheila Swan and Peter Laufer take readers on a journey, not only along the Las Vegas Strip, but down quiet, two-lane rural roads punctuated by neon signs—those glistening beacons that represent commerce in the vast Great Basin. The photographers’ stunning work captures the argon violets, krypton purples, helium golds, and xenon blues that glow amid the nighttime desert sky. Readers will discover that neon is not just a medium for casino advertising. The colorful images of cowboys and cowgirls, animals, desert landscapes, and a myriad of other creative designs all illuminate Americana. The neon sign helps define Nevada and its businesses, from bars and casinos to the stores, restaurants, motels, and theaters that line the streets of the Silver State’s cities and towns, and those rural areas that are barely a blip on the map. With a compelling blend of striking full-color photographs and fascinating historical commentary, this book celebrates an art form that wholly embraces the state’s unique personality. First published in 1994, this newly updated and expanded edition of Neon Nevada explores the resurgence of this art form during the last decade, which has resulted in an appreciation of Nevada neon that will never fade. This survey of neon casts the new edition as a defining source for neon scholars and attracts neon aficionados to what can only be defined as a medium as distinctive and interesting as Nevada itself.
