Neon Nevada
University of Nevada Press (Verlag)
978-1-64779-124-7 (ISBN)
Neon Nevada takes readers and viewers on a literal and pictorial journey not only along the old Las Vegas Strip, but also down quiet two-lane rural roads punctuated occasionally with neon signs, those glistening beacons of civilization against the desert night sky. Because the neon resurgence has resulted in an institutionalization and appreciation of Nevada neon unlikely to fade, it is time for this updated statewide neon survey to complete the four-decade project – first published by the Press in 1994.
Sheila Swan learned photography as an assistant in her father’s California portrait studio. She joined the Nevada Craft Guild shortly after it was founded and there began her study of Nevada’s relationship with neon. Peter Laufer is the award-winning author of several dozen books. He is a journalism professor at the University of Oregon. Laufer was editor of the Nevada newspaper, the Gold Hill News.
