American Auto Factory (Automotive History and Personalities) CustomerReview

The American auto factory, is a look at the historical and sociological development and technological change, said the employees directly affected and management through vivid images and incisive text. Or so I thought. What had been only partially to my perception. Beyond was lively and compelling images is very boring, unspectacular narrative history of the American automobile industry. Not that the story itself is interesting, but said manyTimes before in several books in detail and then made available here. The American auto factory was its history to the changing conditions and the ratio of men (and later women) work in factories concentrated played by both images and text. From decade to decade, I expected a discussion of changes in technology and how it implements the perceptions of workers' and relationships with managers, their jobs and each other. Unfortunately, the authors have chosen asimple historical narrative of the key automotive players, GM, Ford and Chrysler with a discussion of children in independent chapters. Having said all this, still does not cover away from the beautiful images. If the authors have one thing absolutely right, was to dig all the stored images in this book is also famous (or infamous to some) Mural Diego Rivera, Detroit Industry. The pictures are beautiful and give afascinating history of the car factory, as he talks about how he was. Buy this book if you are visually seduce workers and their machines in the process of creating the car you want. Do not buy if you want a better understanding of how the workers were and are affected by these same machines.
