    Description
    In The Shakers: Hands to Work, Hearts to God, exquisite photography by Ken Burns, Langdon Clay, and Jerome Liebling; perfectly reproduced archival photographs from the Shakers' own collections; and a historical text by Amy Stechler Burns give a clear, personal, and profound understanding of the architecture, craft accomplishments, and lives of the Shakers and their historical legacy. Langdon Clay is a professional photographer, whose book credits include Jefferson's Monticello and Colonial Williamsburg, among others. Jerome Leibling is an internationally recognized photographer whose work is in many major institutional, and private collections. Based on the popular PBS film, The Shakers is a complete historical record and a splendid visual presentation of the history and legacy of the most enduring communal experiment in American history. 100 full-color and 40 black-and-white photographs.
