- Summary:
- Human expectations and illusions are the backdrop of today's Nevada as a new human frontier. As an overview of Nevada society, this study deals with culture, economics, tradition, and rapid population growth. The essayists inquire whether the friction between acquisition and preservation, quick wealth and refined sensitivity, will build a more humane and enlightened society.
