As much as anyone alive today, he understands the soul of our country. In Our America , Burns has assembled the images that, for him, best embody nearly two hundred years of the American experiment, taken by some of our most reknowned photographers and by others who worked in obscurity. We see America’s vast natural beauty as well as its dynamic cities and communities. There are striking images of war and civil conflict, and of communities drawing together across lines of race and class. Our greatest leaders appear alongside regular folks living their everyday lives. The photos talk to one another across boundaries and decades and, taken together, they capture the impossibly rich and diverse perspectives and places that comprise the American experience. Read more
REVIEW
Knowing Ken Burns is a Genius when it comes to the visual projects he takes on, whether it be a series on PBS or photos in a book! I wish I had bought his autographed hard cover instead of just his hard cover first edition, I didn’t realize he had the autographed edition available! Please correct my error in the first word from Nothing to Knowing which I meant to write!
