on a link takes you to the amazon.com website for the book. Note:
We do not make money off of these links to amazon.com--I'd prefer
it if you went to your local independent
bookseller or your local public library. I can't vouch for all
of these books, but I think they (may be) are worthwhile. Cadillac
Desert is a must-read though.

Want to 'read'
Cadillac Desert and Last Oasis without actually reading
them? Try the PBS documentary Cadillac
Desert. The documentary is quite good and I highly recommend
it. Watch it even if you've read Cadillac Desert, or vice-versa.
