  A philosopher/mechanic's wise (and sometimes funny) look at the challenges and pleasures of working
with one's hands 
  
  Called "the sleeper hit of the publishing season" (The Boston Globe), Shop Class as
Soulcraft became an instant bestseller, attracting readers with its radical (and timely) reappraisal of the merits of
skilled manual labor. On both economic and psychological grounds, author Matthew B. Crawford questions the educational
imperative of turning everyone into a "knowledge worker," based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing. Using
his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford presents a wonderfully articulated call for self-reliance
and a moving reflection on how we can live concretely in an ever more abstract world.
  
  
  
  
  
  From Publishers Weekly
  Starred Review. Philosopher and motorcycle repair-shop owner Crawford extols
the value of making and fixing things in this masterful paean to what he calls manual competence, the ability to work
with oneÖs hands. According to the author, our alienation from how our possessions are made and how they work takes
many forms: the decline of shop class, the design of goods whose workings cannot be accessed by users (such as recent
Mercedes models built without oil dipsticks) and the general disdain with which we regard the trades in our emerging
information economy. Unlike todayÖs knowledge worker, whose work is often so abstract that standards of excellence
cannot exist in many fields (consider corporate executives awarded bonuses as their companies sink into bankruptcy), the
person who works with his or her hands submits to standards inherent in the work itself: the lights either turn on or
they donÖt, the toilet flushes or it doesnÖt, the motorcycle roars or sputters. With wit and humor, the author
deftly mixes the details of his own experience as a tradesman and then proprietor of a motorcycle repair shop with more
philosophical considerations. (June)

  From Bookmarks
Magazine
  We note that Publishers Weekly named Shop Class as Soulcraft one of the top ten books of 2009. Reviewers
were clearly intrigued by Crawford's argument, but only a couple of them seemed fully persuaded. (The New York Times
Book Review critic, for example, admitted to enjoying Crawford's manual work alongside his academic career.) But most
critics, while praising the book's overall premise, seemed a little hesitant about fully embracing Shop Class as
Soulcraft, perhaps because, as the New York Times reviewer observed, many of the author's personal preferences and
quirks, such as Crawford's defense of dirty jokes, seem to impede his argument. However, it's hard not to be interested
in a philosopher who, in a nation that privileges intellectual attainment, can also successfully replace a carburetor.
