<em>People's Colleges: Nevada Community Colleges, the First Twenty-Five Years</em>, revised edition.
A book-length study of the first 25 years of the community colleges in Nevada, based on vignette interviews with key persons involved in their establishment.
<p>From the "Acknowledgements":</p>
<blockquote>This is a story of the founding of Nevada's community colleges. It is told by people who had a hand in the opening and building, each life a part of the mosaic. There is a common set of characters--regents, advisors, governors, legislators, chancellors, presidents, deans, faculty, staff members, and students. What happened to any one of the participants was of great consequence to the others. Their resources and destinies were so closely intertwined that each was woven into the fabric of the whole.</blockquote>
