Praise for Peter Guttman: "You too will fall under his spell ... A marvelous dream book, sure to appeal to any traveler with a sense of wonder, where Peter is the map!"--The Longitude Blog "Life on the edge: fearless travel journalist Peter Guttman chronicles the extreme end of what the world can offer."-- Daily Mail "This is armchair traveling at its best and just might give you the nudge you need to add more adrenaline-laced activity to your life."--Time Warner Cable News "Using light to its fullest, Mr. Guttman creates stunning images no matter how far he travels ... sumptuous, dramatically lit shots ... a one-man Explorer's Club."-- The New York Times "Peter Guttman is a gutsy photographer who has taken pictures all over the world and paints glorious word-pictures with extraordinary photographs... legendary."-- Popular Photography "His photographs all seem to glow from an inner light."-- Dallas Morning News "One of the premiere travel photographers."--CNN "Such a beautiful vision."-- CBS This Morning "One of the world's most accomplished photographers."--National Public Radio "Guttman's photographs capture the spirit of a place."-- Time "Breathtaking... evocative... stunning. "-- Kirkus Reviews "It is his thirst for new experiences--and new subjects to photograph--that drives his life. He has chased tornadoes, skydived, gone spelunking, ridden Olympic bobsleds, and climbed high into the rigging of tall ships and to the top of a radio tower at the North Pole."-- Kodak Guide to Shooting Great Travel Pictures "His work is filled with joy, beauty and insight, and he conveys his sense of wonder with the world in every photograph. His work is inspiring and impressive."--Society of American Travel Writers "His eye is magical, and he clicks his lens at the perfect moment--time and time again. Gifted photographer Peter Guttman thrives on discovering unusual destinations ... the photography is stupendous."-- New Orleans Times Picayune

Synopsis
Award-winning photographer Peter Guttman showcases the vibrant and wildly diverse American people in an unprecedented, multi-decade collection of sharply etched portraits Like few nations, the United States flourished through the hard work and enterprising creativity of individuals from myriad identities. These cultural strands--along with sprinklings of imagination, eccentricity, even skullduggery--weave together an entertaining narrative of a fascinating country. American Character offers readers a peek into the seldom viewed worlds of Buddhist monks, "freak show" performers, and nuclear physicists, and an opportunity to tag along on the quests of gold miners and Bigfoot hunters. Diving into the ethnic enclaves of Yupik hunters, Amish farmers, Hopi elders, native Hawaiian storytellers, and Hasidic bakery owners, the book also trains a lens on distant or underseen communities to cobble together an unforgettable American landscape. Driven by an explorer's fearless instinct for investigating obscure cultures and hidden corners in all fifty states, photographer and journalist Peter Guttman presents this richly visual parade in stunning color photography, accompanied with evocative, deeply researched prose. Almost encyclopedic in scope, a dizzying array of arresting occupational niches and lifestyles are presented and enhanced with intriguing personal backstories, winding connections, and amusing historical tales. When each half of a polarized country seems to view the other half with deep suspicions, American Character may provide a healing balm and offer much deeper understanding of the vast spectrum of Americans and our mutual aspirations., Award-winning photographer Peter Guttman showcases the vibrant and wildly diverse American people in an unprecedented, multi-decade collection of sharply etched portraits Like few nations, the United States flourished through the hard work and enterprising creativity of individuals from myriad identities.
