AMERICAN GREATS

A compelling celebration of American ingenuity and revered achievements. This offers 80 moving essays on the people who have made up the fabric of the United States, as philosophers, scientists, artists, architects and designers. With over 250 large format photographs and illustrations this documents a nation's bravery, beauty, genius, invention, and resilience from our first National Park and Navajo code talkers to Sesame Street and M.A.S.H. This is about that compound whose mix forms the American character, of moral energy and pragmatic efficiency, optimism and guile, respect for law, admiration for the maverick and love of the underdog.
