Over 5 million people visit Lancaster County every year to experience the culture of the oldest Amish community in the world. This book by the leading scholar of the Amish in North America explains the uncommon lifestyle of these simple-living people who intrigue so many visitors. Mini essays on all aspects of Amish life, from spirituality and dress to horse-and-buggy transport, are accompanied by beautiful full-colour photographs. The author also discusses myths about the Amish, their selective use of technology, the current media attention to Rumspringa, and the tragedy at the Nickel Mines school.
