Vanishing Village: The Struggle for Community in the New WestBy: Evan Blythin 
Lowest New Price: $9.63List Price: $14.95 Description: Just a few miles beyond the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding suburbs, a quiet village vigorously resists the insistent pull of the metropolis. The villagers believe the modern way, the urban way is not necessarily the best way.They want to make their own rules and set their own standards, insisting that one size does not fit all. In Vanishing Village, Evan Blythin explores the history and the folkways of his longtime home, illuminating the enduring values and pastimes of small-town living. But this lifestyle, Blythin reveals is at risk of extinction, as the village fends off relentless demands to conform and modernize.
