Shop Class as Soulcraft
Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work by Matthew B. Crawford
Adult Non-Fiction-Upper Level 331 C
This book is about the value of making and fixing things and the ability to work with one's hands. The author posits that the generation of thinkers, who were educated for the "knowledge revolution" don't know how to DO anything. They don't value hard, physical work or appreciate hand-made items. This is a great choice for people who like to work with their hands and who appreciate hard work!
