This book offers a glimpse into the world of the Amish which has basically remained unchanged. It is a world uncomplicated by todays technological advances. It is a world that I respect and admire. The photographs in this book brought me closer to the amish people and captured the beauty of the people and the land. George Tice is a master of photography.

Set in 1943, Millen Brand's Savage Sleep tells the story of a recently graduated psychiatrist (Dr. Marks) who mixes Freudean psychoanalysis with standard psychiatric treatment (electric or insulin shock). We come to know and care for severely disturbed patients, who come alive in narrative and dialog. Dr. Marks' unorthodox, though successful treatment of his patients leads to tension with the medical community, and ultimately to some unexpected decisions by Dr. Marks.
