Centennial Utah is the first comprehensive history of the state's burgeoning late-twentieth-century economy. Solidly rooted in Utah's history, this volume focuses on the "economic miracle" of the past 50 years, which has catapulted the state from an economy based on agriculture to one that now appears on the cutting edge in three major industrial areas: missiles and space, information technology, and biomedical technology. Add this to an invigorated mining and energy sector, and to a state that is one of the leaders in western U.S. tourism. -- amazon.com
