{"product_id":"9780813116952","title":"The Appalachian Photographs of Earl Palmer","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than fifty years mountain-born Earl Palmer traveled the Southern Appalachians with his camera, recording his personal vision of the mountain people and their heritage. Over these year he created, in several thousand photographs, a distinctive body of work that affirms a traditional image of Appalachia -- a region of great natural beauty inhabited by a self-sufficient people whose lives are notable for simplicity and harmony.\n\u003cbr\u003eFor this book, Jean Haskell Speer has selected more than 120 representative photographs from Palmer's collection and has written a biographical and critical commentary based on extensive interviews with the photographer. Palmer's photographs, Speer argues, are significant cultural statements that depict not so much a geographical region as a particular idea of Appalachia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49497139577059,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780813116952-1.jpg?v=1788354917","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780813116952","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
