Smolan's photographs are both intimate and epic, capturing the everyday lives of Americans from all walks of life. We see farmers working their land, factory workers on the assembly line, and children playing in the streets. We also see the vastness of the American landscape, from the rolling hills of the Midwest to the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains.

Through his photographs, Smolan tells the story of a nation that is both complex and contradictory. It is a story of hope and despair, of triumph and tragedy. But it is also a story of resilience, of a people who have overcome adversity time and time again.

Rock City is a powerful and moving portrait of modern America. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
