Number of Pages: 400
Work - a process as familiar to almost everyone as their daily routines - has radically changed in nature over the centuries. Most of these changes have involved revolutionary steps, significantly influencing the way people live and behave. Two of these - the agrarian revolution (when people abandoned their hunter-gatherer lifestyles and grouped together as farming communities) and the industrial revolution (where people began to concentrate in farms and cities) - were watersheds in the evolution of work. A third revolution in the way we work and live, driven this time by new technology, appears to be happening as we enter the new millennium. "Blood, Sweat & Tears" is a history of work, from the prehistoric times to the present day. It offers analyses of the individuals, assumptions, theories, developments and practices that have so much changed work. Based on detailed research from around the world, the author examines early societies, slavery, the guilds, the creation of trade secrets and the influence of religion on work (such as the humanist ideals of the great Quaker industrialists).
