	Journal of San Diego History
		Thomas Sheridan has written a comprehensive history of Arizona that is a skillful blending of good narrative and insightful analysis.
		He introduces his history with a survey of Arizona's prehistory, and then proceeds to recount the documented history of that state from the earliest Spanish expeditions in the sixteenth century up to the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1993.
		To buttress this interpretation, Sheridan organizes Arizona's history into three major phases--incorporation (the integration of people within the state, and the state within the nation), extraction (the exploitation of the state's natural resources), and transformation (the development of the state's sunbelt society).
