After the Fire: The Destruction of the Lancaster County Amish

This book has some interesting information about the Amish. It mostly focuses on the problems Amish face living in modern times. Regulations requiring permits for certain farm operations, building permits and other legalities often make it difficult to stay separate from modern life. In many areas, businesses and houses are closing in on Amish farms, crowding them out and hindering their way of life.
