Product Information
Cities, Sagebrush, and Solitude explores the transformation of the largest desert in North America, the Great Basin, into America's last urban frontier. In recent decades Las Vegas, Reno, Salt Lake City, and Boise have become the anchors for sprawling metropolitan regions. This population explosion has been fueled by the maturing of Las Vegas as the nation's entertainment capital, the rise of Reno as a magnet for multitudes of California expatriates, the development of Salt Lake City's urban corridor along the Wasatch Range, and the growth of Boise's celebrated high-tech economy and hip urban culture. The blooming of cities in a fragile desert region poses a host of environmental challenges. The policies required to manage their impact, however, often collide with an entrenched political culture that has long resisted cooperative or governmental effort. The alchemical mixture of three ingredients--cities, aridity, and a libertarian political outlook--makes the Great Basin a compelling place to study. This book addresses a pressing question: Are large cities ultimately sustainable in such a fragile environment?

Reviews
"It's lively, nimble, often unexpected, and informative. Its core theme is the growth of four urban centers around the perimeter of the Great Basin. Two--Salt Lake City and Reno--have significant historical roots. Two--Las Vegas and Boise--are largely postwar inventions. Each has a different story ... All in all, consider Cities, Sagebrush, and Solitude to be a good introduction to the region, something between a briefing paper and an academic Lonely Planet guide to an exotic patch of western America." --Utah Historical Quarterly , "If you want to learn more about the past and present of the Interior West, read this book." -- Western Historical Quarterly, "If you want to learn more about the past and present of the Interior West, read this book." -- Western Historical Quarterly, "It's lively, nimble, often unexpected, and informative.

The book came on time. It was like new as the seller described. Young children would be curious about Log cabin building.
