Temples of Justice: County Courthouses of Nevada (Wilbur S. Shepperson Series in History and Humanities)
by Ronald Michael James
Category: Architecture

Nevada has never had a published architectural history, and Temples of Justice helps fill the gap by treating the state's built environment as a series of documents from the past. By looking at the courthouses collectively, it is possible to understand the choices and influences that have affected Nevada's communities as they seek to protect an image of themselves and their aspirations through public architecture.
