Besides discussing the impact of smartphones and social media usage, he carefully examines work and leisure, rites of passage, the rise of supervised youth groups, courtship rituals, weddings, and the remarkable Amish retention rate. Stevick also contemplates the potential of electronic media to significantly alter traditional Amish practices, culture, and staying power.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 289.7092 Stevick Checked In Add Copy to MyList
