Presentation Details:
Sydney will share stories and images from the most mysterious state in the west. Books will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
Offering an entry point to understanding the landscapes, culture, and people of Nevada, this inspiring and personal ode to the Silver State takes curious adventurers off the grid to experience a version of the state few people truly know.
When many people think of Nevada, they think of Las Vegas, Area 51, and an unending, empty desert–but there’s a lot more to the Great Basin State than that. Author and dedicated Nevada aficionado Sydney Martinez has devoted many years to exploring the ultra-rural wonders of Nevada, and in Finding Nevada Wild, she helps fellow adventurers get to know an often-misunderstood state.
Written from the perspective of someone who has researched, visited, and experienced many of Nevada’s most defining places, Finding Nevada Wild features chapters devoted to various interests and activities. Vivid photography accompanies personal stories and practical guidance to show why Nevada should be at the top of everyone’s must-experience list.
Offering a combination of content and design that is equally at home on a coffee table as it is serving as a guidebook for unforgettable adventures in Nevada’s ultra-rurals, Finding Nevada Wild helps readers discover the true essence of the Silver State.
About Sydney
A misunderstood place that became part of her a long time ago, Sydney wakes up with alkali in her blood, sagebrush in her hair, and Nevada on the brain.
From grave dowsing silver boomtowns with generations of locals, to licking lumps of turquoise right alongside its claimstaker, to ordering a pint at rural bars that make it easy to lose track of what century she is in, to sliding into every last natural hot spring in the state—basking in actual darkness, quietness, and far beyond—her admiration for the Silver State is as unending as the mighty Sagebrush Sea.
