Synopsis
Richard Sennett, who has written preceptively about work and workers in America, discusses the notion of craft and how it is practiced. Sennett intelligently (and creatively) draws examples from a range of cultural periods, classical through modern, and he includes chefs and computer programmers as contemporary practitioners. Said to be the first volume in a projected trilogy, THE CRAFTSMAN heightens our appreciation of craftspeople and underscores their importance to the individual and society.

Industry Reviews
"...Richard Sennett's tome is...the best exposition yet of why work can be a good thing in and of itself and not just as a means of earning a living."
(02/01/2008)

"It is good to be reminded that work in the humanities can be about the problems and the possibilities of human life, as such. THE CRAFTSMAN should find readers who will, so to speak, make something of it."
(04/01/2008)

"...Sennett's book gathers case after case in which we see how the work of the hand can inform the work of the mind. Moreover, it is through his insistence that thought arises in relation to craft that Sennett comes to one of his more intriguing interventions,a reimagining of the Enlightenment in terms not of ideas but of how craftsmen learned to work."
(04/06/2008)

"Sennett's learned but inclusive prose proves entirely readable, and the breadth of his curiosity--delving into the minds behind the Manhattan project, touring Soviet suburbs, examining the methods of Julia Childs--take him in a number of fascinating directions."
(03/31/2008)
