The Face of Appalachia: Portraits from the Mountain Farm by Tim Barnwell

Tim Barnwell has established himself as one of the most sensitive and artistic regional photographers. In contrast to other Barnwell books which cover a broader theme or area, this book zonks in on one particular mountain farm, between Asheville and the Tennessee line, and provides a deep and satisfying portrait of a way of life. Magnificent Western North Carolina photography grace most of the pages of this coffee-table book. Each picture is annotated in a special section at the back of the book. New York: W.W. Norton, 2003. 157 pages. Hardback in dust jacket.
