Book Description
The austere landscape of the Great Basin has inspired diverse responses from the people who have moved through or settled in it. Author Richard V. Francaviglia is interested in the connection between environment and spirituality in the Great Basin, for here, he says, "faith and landscape conspire to resurrect old myths and create new ones." As a geographer, Francaviglia knows that place means more than physical space. Human perceptions and interpretations are what give place its meaning. In Believing in Place, he examines the varying human perceptions of and relationships with the Great Basin landscape, from the region's Native American groups to contemporary tourists and politicians, to determine the spiritual issues that have shaped our connections with this place. In doing so, he considers the creation and flood myths of several cultures, the impact of the Judeo-Christian tradition and individualism, Native American animism and shamanist traditions, the Mormon landscape, the spiritual dimensions of gambling, the religious foundations of Cold War ideology, stories of UFOs and alien presence, and the convergence of science and spirituality. Believing in Place is a profound and totally engaging reflection on the ways that human needs and spiritual traditions can shape our perceptions of the land. That the Great Basin has inspired such a complex variety of responses is partly due to its enigmatic vastness and isolation, partly to the remarkable range of peoples who have found themselves in the region. Using not only the materials of traditional geography but folklore, anthropology, Native American and Euro-American religion, contemporary politics, and New Age philosophies, Francaviglia has produced a fascinating and timely investigation of the role of human conceptions of place in that space we call the Great Basin.

Book Description
There is no neon to match Nevada’s. The combination of Wild West mythology and the remaining untamed pitch-black nighttime landscape, replete with real cowboys and real gambling, makes the Silver State a unique and appropriate canvas for neon art. Modern Nevada began with a nonstop desire for riches. It continues for many as a state of dreams often vividly expressed through exploding neon. Neon Nevada brings all this alive. Cameras in hand, authors Sheila Swan and Peter Laufer embarked on their first Nevada neon trek in the 1970s. They followed this up with a second nocturnal treasure hunt in the early 1990s—and a third in 2010, in the course of which they discovered that neon is fading fast; most notably on the Las Vegas Strip. Most of all, though, they realized that their passion for the art and craft of neon had not waned. A compelling blend of full-color photographs and absorbing prose, Neon Nevada takes us on a literal and figurative journey not only down the Las Vegas strip but also down quiet two-lane roads punctuated occasionally with neon signs, those glittering beacons of civilization against the desert night sky. The authors talk with sign owners, with those who created and maintained the neon, and those who collect it.

Book Description
Welcome to the Silver State of Nevada! Nevada is a state in the western United States known for its desert landscapes, casinos, and entertainment venues in the famous city of Las Vegas. But there's a lot more to Nevada than just gambling and entertainment. This travel book invites you to discover the many facets of the Silver State and to collect unforgettable experiences. Nevada is a state full of history, culture, and nature. It is named after the Spanish word "nevada", which means "snowy". In fact, there are many mountain ranges in Nevada that are covered in snow in the winter. The history of the state dates back to the Native Americans and European explorers who came in search of silver and gold in the 19th century. Today, Nevada is known for its world-class entertainment and stunning nature. Las Vegas is arguably the most well-known tourist destination in Nevada, attracting millions of visitors annually. The city is famous for its casinos, shows, restaurants, and nightlife. It is a symbol of gambling and entertainment and is often referred to as "the city that never sleeps". But Las Vegas is also a good starting point to explore the surrounding area, including Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon, and the Hoover Dam. In addition to Las Vegas, Nevada is home to many other cities and towns worth seeing that offer history and culture. Reno is the largest city in northern Nevada and is known for its casinos, but also for its art and culture. The city is home to a variety of museums, including the National Automobile Museum and the Nevada Museum of Art.
