Publisher's summary

Nevada’s politics are in large measure the result of its turbulent history and harsh environment. Michael W. Bowers’ concise volume explains the dynamics of the political formation process, which is strikingly unique among the 50 states. Even today, Nevada is unlike the other states in its politics and culture: It’s economically right yet libertarian and the home of widespread gaming and a 24/7 lifestyle, has a high percentage of federally owned lands, and has one of the highest rates of urbanism in the United States, yet is often governed by rural legislators.

This comprehensive and insightful explanation discusses how Nevada’s history has shaped its political culture and how its government operates today. The Sagebrush State serves as a highly listenable and accessible text for the study of Nevada’s political history and constitution, which is a graduation requirement at the state’s colleges and universities. The fifth edition is updated through 2017 and includes the full text of the state constitution, with extensive annotations of all amendments to the original 1864 document.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fine Reading

Interesting book a quick listen and lots of interesting information. It is a prior edition that has on minor differences from the next edition about later election campaigns in 2020 and 2022.

Nev-Ahhhh-da

Reader sounds like a robot (and actually might be one). He also varies his pronunciation of Nevada. No faster way to piss of Nevadans than saying Nev-ah-da.
