* The Society for Utopian Studies *
New Harmony: Then & Now provides a highly readable account of the communitarian movements in New Harmony, Indiana, alongside beautiful images that provide a window into the vibrant community that still exists along the banks of the Wabash River. While this book was clearly produced for a general audience, academic historians might glean much about nineteenth-century American society from its pages.

Browsing the sumptuous photos in New Harmony Then & Now is the next best thing to a visit.
* WFIU *
Stunning from start to finish . . . Pitzer and Jones, through his dynamic full-color photographs, show how Rapp and Owen's larger-than-life personalities still impress 200 years later.
