Although only a handful of the Brothers and Sisters of America's
unique Shaker community are left, the Shaker legacy lives on in the
architecture, furniture, crafts, and inventions they created. Shakers
were famous for their unusual way of life, for the excellence and
simplicity of their work, and for the dance worship from which they
drew their name. A comprehensive and insightful text discusses the
origins and beliefs, the work and daily life of these remarkable
people, and more than 200 full-color photographs taken especially for
this book by Michael Freeman richly illustrate their environment and
creativity. More than a book of architecture and design, Shaker:
Life, Work and Art is a celebration of this fascinating American
society and a tribute to their pursuit of perfection.
