Abstract

Reviews the book, "Making work human," by G. U. Cleeton (see record 1950-04884-000 ). The primary thesis of this book is that work can be made fully as satisfying as leisure-time activities. The author contends that work can be directed toward the objectives of production and service and still be made to conform to the basic desires and capacities of man. The book includes fundamental principles of human nature and their application to the solution of problems of work adjustment. The book appears likely to be more useful in schools of technology as collateral reading to serve as an antidote to the exclusively mechanistic approach typical of so many such students.
