Mission Drift is a pioneering journey across the USA in pursuit of the soul of American capitalism; created in the blazing heat of a Las Vegas June. Told through atomic blasts; lizard ballet; and original music that fuses Las Vegas glitz with Western ballads and Southern blues; it features two interweaving love stories: the epic saga of an immortal teenage Dutch couple as they travel west from Amsterdam to New Amsterdam in 1624; all the way to modern-day financially devastated Las Vegas; and the intimate portrait of a cocktail waitress and a cowboy grappling with the 2008 recession and their crumbling American dreams.Over it all reigns Miss Atomic; a seductive storyteller/singer inspired by the 1950s beauty pageants celebrating the bombs tested in the Nevada desert. She is the symbol of creation and destruction; bankruptcy and bonanza; and this profoundly unique American city.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Basic Photography Tour GuideBy Dov Ben AmramThe book is OK for a first time visitor to Washington and/or a beginner photographer. I guess I expected more when I purchased it.For a photography book; I expected a better quality of printed pictures. Many of the pictures are dull;and tend to be gloomy.For a photography guide book; I expected more information on each of the photo locations. Instead I get internet links for each location for further information. Finally; the book does not have an index. How can a guide book come with no index?On the positive side; The book is well organized by destinations and has an excellent regional location maps; which are very useful.
