Empires in the Sun: The Rise of the New American West by Gottlieb, Robert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780816509119.

"From the Colorado River projects that feed Los Angeless mighty municipal arteries to the massive coal fields that scar Utahs 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 dont need and power plants we dont want, built with tax dollars we cant 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.
