The official commemorative volume of the Nevada Sesquicentennial, "Nevada: 150 Years in the Silver State" is a compelling historical, visual, and cultural portrait of the Battle Born state. Editor Geoff Schumacher, a well-known Nevada journalist and author, brings together contributions from the state s finest writers and photographers.

Natural landmarks from Lake Tahoe to Red Rock Canyon are highlighted, along with the neon metropolises of Las Vegas and Reno. Photographic essays cover the most important facets of the state, from mining and gaming to ranching and entertainment. Although history is an important component, it is only one element of the rich texture of this volume, which also looks at the state s present and future and Nevada s place in the West, in America, and in the world."Nevada: 150 Years in the Silver State"is distributed by the University of Nevada Press."
