Beschreibung:
Michael J. Makley is the author of several studies of Nevada history, including most recently Cave Rock: Climbers, Courts, and a Washoe Indian Sacred Place (coauthored with Matthew Makley) and A Short History of Lake Tahoe. He divides his time between Denver and the Eastern Sierra.
Explores the interaction through the years between human activities and Lake Tahoe's natural ecosystems. It is a dramatic story of ecological disasters and near misses, political successes and failures. Utilising primary sources and interviews with key figures, Makley provides a meticulously researched account of the battles surrounding the management of the Tahoe basin.
