Description

G. Wesley Johnson, Jr. (ed). The 12 contributors to this volume have told the story of Phoenix, Arizona. Each writes about a face of the city: its economy, its elites, its women, its ethnic groups, its water- & labor-management problems, its development & transportation growing pains, its politics, & its never-ending drive to become as important as Los Angeles & Dallas. Today Phoenix suffers the same growing pains it had in its youth. This book portrays the city & its Valley of the Sun in their first 100 years of glory as a Sunbelt jewel, & in their down-to-earth humanity as a metroplex serving a multitude of needs & desires in a pollution-threatened setting.
