The Sagebrush State, 5th Edition: Nevada's History, Government, and Politics (Volume 5) (Shepperson Series in Nevada History)

Nevadaâ€™s politics are in large measure the result of its turbulent history and harsh environment. Michael W. Bowersâ€™ concise volume explains the dynamics of the political formation process, which is strikingly unique among the fifty states.Â Even today, Nevada is unlike the other states in its politics and culture: itâ€™s economically right, yet libertarian, 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 U.S., yet is often governed by rural legislators.

This comprehensive and insightful explanation discusses how Nevadaâ€™s history has shaped its political culture, and how its government operates today.Â The Sagebrush State serves as a highly readable and accessible text for the study of Nevadaâ€™s political history and constitution, which is a graduation requirement at the stateâ€™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.
