5.0 out of 5 stars Oasis, July 6, 2004
Known primarily for its resort city of Las Vegas, Nevada is really a wealth of other cultural and geological resources. Its varied climates--from snow-peaked mountains to beautiful deserts--are almost unparalleled on the continent. This book will tell you and your students all about it.

The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Nevada" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. The "Culture" section is especially good and is very inclusive.

This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
