Since 1987 editorial cartoonist Jim Day of the Las Vegas Review-Journal has satirized the process of attempting to find the "best" way to dispose of nuclear waste by "studying" only a single option--burying the stuff in Nevada and shipping it through hundreds of populated cities across America in the process. As Congress prepared to endorse what some feared as the inevitable, Day and the Las Vegas Review-Journal collected the best and insightful of those jabs into this book.

Gary Ladd confesses, "I'm not really so much a photographer as just a nosy soul interested in the canyons." But, Gary Ladd is far more than a mere observer. For him, photographing the wondrous and ever-changing beauty of both the Grand Canyon and Lake Powell has become an obsession. Ladd offers the best and freshest views of the famously beautiful canyons of the Colorado River. He also comments on the natural forces that sculpt rock, the techniques he used to photograph the result, and his adventures in getting himself to where the photos can be taken.

Senior Bix Bixby, tall, popular sandy-haired pitcher for the San Sebastian Scorpions, seems to have it made. Or does he? No one knows he doesn't get along with his Pop, or that Pop has brought a trashy girlfriend, Gloria, home to live in their cramped apartment, or that, following a mega row between Bix and Gloria, they take off for parts unknown, leaving Bix homeless. Too proud to let anyone know, Bix tries to make it on his own, act normal, sleep outside, and eat next to nothing. However, one by one, his baseball teammates guess the guarded secret. What they do next creates a baseball legend for all time.

Nevada has long been a place of endless mystery, irony and flat-out wonderment for those who have taken time to experience it. It's easily the most eccentric, interesting, and misunderstood state in the union. Moreno and Prosor have probed every hidden region of Nevada to find and chronicle the lives and visages of Nevadas gone and Nevadas present. They find beauty not in a desolate landscape but in hues so subtle that they are often overlooked. They find man's presence in ways that reveal how temporal it is. They unfold the story of Nevada with color, depth, and literary precision.

Sex. No other city in America capitalizes on the power of sex like Las Vegas. Author Jack Sheehan, a writer who has lived in Las Vegas for thirty years and knows the true dark side of the city, pulls back the curtain of the adult sex industry and examines the lives of the people give Sin City its naughty reputation. Jack was able to get XXX-rated film stars, the top madam in town, beautiful call girls who command $1,000 per hour and up, swingers, and the most alluring exotic dancers on the Strip to tell him everything, both on and off the job and how anything goes in the arena of sexual self-expression. 
Sheehan discusses his visit to the largest adult video convention in the world, accompanied by a porn star who has appeared in over 300 films, to attend the Adult Video News Awards. He then talks with Mayor Oscar Goodman, Sheriff Bill Young, and casino owner Steve Wynn to discuss their concerns over the sex industry's role in Las Vegas. Skin City focuses on those whose names will never be on marquees but are the ones who create the legendary mystique of Las Vegas. It's a story that's never been told but lurks in the fantasies of us all.

Sleeping Giant is a thoughtful and robust narrative of the inland region of Southern California's transition from a wild desert wilderness held together by nothing much more than Indians, sagebrush, and adobes, to the vibrant economic and industrial engine that it is today. Its pages contain a reservoir of stories of the early years and include more than a history of the waning days of the Wild West. It traces the monumental transformation of the area in its passage through times of pioneer settlement, the dawn of an agrarian age, development of railroads and industry, as well as the founding of villages that would become pulsating communities bulging with a population of millions. Lavishly illustrated with vintage photographs, Sleeping Giant heralds an ever-promising future for the people of the Inland Empire.

Stephen Nasser somehow dug deep within his soul to survive the brutal and inhumane treatment his captors inflicted on the Jews. He was the only one of his family to survive--but the memory of his brother's dying words compelled him to live. Stephen's account of the Holocaust, told in the refreshingly direct and optimistic language of a young boy, appeals to both younger audiences and his contemporaries. Written in a straight forward, narrative style, Nasser avoids the cloying or maudlin language that characterizes some stories of the Holocaust. Perhaps it's for that reason readers will find his book one they won't forget--and one they recommend to others as a "must read."
