<h2>Reviews</h2>
<p><I>"[Juravich] provides valuable insights into the operations of a small manufacturing firm, emphasizing the role of worker �tradecraft� practiced on the job.... Of greatest interest to institutions with strong sociology/industrial psychology holdings serving upper-division and graduate students, but also relevant for libraries serving vocational and technical students."</I>
<br>—<b><I>Choice</I></b>
<p><I>From his well-placed vantage point, Juravich has produced an interesting and valuable ethnography of factory life in the industrial periphery.... I recommend this book to those interested in the sociology of work. It is written clearly and straightforwardly, and it is well suited for undergraduate or graduate courses.</I>
