Mention Nevada, and most people think of one of three things: nuclear testing, the feverish glitter of Las Vegas, or a view of drab, endless valleys and barren mountains glimpsed from a car speeding toward California. This title aims to show another side of Nevada combining prose with natural, historical,and anecdotal information. It is a full-colour guide to understanding Nevada's magnificent but challenging landscape - teal sky and a sea of purple sage, mountain mahogany and a crimson mass of claret cup cactus. The book takes the reader from the lowest deserts to the highest mountains of this state which has an abundance of public lands for the nature lover.
