Empires in the Sun: The Rise of the New American West

"From the Colorado River projects that feed Los Angeles's mighty municipal arteries to the massive coal fields that scar Utah's desert plains, Gottlieb and Wiley reveal a stunning, sobering story of nature manipulated for the few, by the few. Over and over, they find dams we don't need and power plants we don't want, built with tax dollars we can't get back." - L.A. Reader An interesting read concerning the growth of Western America. Minor wear to back cover, slight dog-earing on bottom corner, but otherwise the book was never used.
