Evoking Studs Terkel, Shen Fuyu delivers a rollicking deep dive into working life in a small village in rural China, tracing the last 100 years of history. Born in Shen Village in Southeast China, Shen Fuyu grew up in a family of farmers. Years later, Shen, now a writer, returned to his hometown to capture the village’s rich history in the face of industrialization. Through his own childhood memories and those of his ancestors, Shen resurrects the working life of Shen Village through interlinked stories of fifteen artisans as their lives intersect over the course of a century. While Shen's view of his hometown and his heritage is tinged with nostalgia, he does not romanticize it. Nor does he sugarcoat the backbreaking difficulty of life in rural China, but he still captures its small satisfactions and joys of loving one’s work with a great deal of care. In an acerbic, earthy and unsparing style that swings from poignancy to comedy, sometimes within a single paragraph, Shen evokes the spirits of these workers--a bamboo-weaver and his beloved bull, a carpenter’s magical saw, the deserter who became the village lantern-maker and a rebellious woman who beats up her own kidnapper. A reflection on the vicissitudes of small-town life during the epic shift from agricultural to industrial civilization, The Artisans vividly details the hardships, friendships and communal mythmaking of a disappearing community.

Since the time of Aristotle, the making of knowledge and the making of objects have generally been considered separate enterprises. Yet during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the two became linked through a "new" philosophy known as science. In The Body of the Artisan, Pamela H. Smith demonstrates how much early modern science owed to an unlikely source-artists and artisans. From goldsmiths to locksmiths and from carpenters to painters, artists and artisans were much sought after by the new scientists for their intimate, hands-on knowledge of natural materials and the ability to manipulate them. Drawing on a fascinating array of new evidence from northern Europe including artisans' objects and their writings, Smith shows how artisans saw all knowledge as rooted in matter and nature. With nearly two hundred images, The Body of the Artisan provides astonishingly vivid examples of this Renaissance synergy among art, craft, and science, and recovers a forgotten episode of the Scientific Revolution-an episode that forever altered the way we see the natural world.

Artisans played a central role in the European town as it developed from the Middles Ages onwards. Their workshops were at the heart of productive activity, their guilds were often central to the political and legal order of towns, and their culture helped shape civic ritual and the urban order. These essays, which have all been specially written for this collection, explore the relationships between artisans and their towns across Europe between the beginning of the early-modern period and the end of the 19th century. They pay special attention to the processes of economic, juridicial and political change that have made the 18th and early 19th centuries a period of such significance. Written by leading historians of European artisans, the essays question the myths about artisans that have long pervaded research in the field. The leading myth was that shared by the artisans themselves - the myth of decline and the belief in each generation that artisans in the past had inhabited a better age. These essays open up for debate the nature of artisanship, the way economic change affected craft production, the political role of artisans, the cultural identification of the artisans with work and masculinity, and the way changing urban society and changing urban structure posed threats to which the artisans had to respond.

Any nation that determines zero-unemployment and also dreams fast economic growth must wholeheartedly embrace growing the number of Artisans and artisanship development in the nation with all the required incentives not excluding providing right enabling environment for the doers. The development in all technologies kick started from the skills of the artisans. Artisanship, no doubt, is one of the employment generation series from the stable of the author, Amusa Abdulateef whose content shall effectively bail nations out of the scourge of upsurge unemployment and underemployment affecting the economic output and national income negatively. His further studies proved that all are artisans and artisans are all who are using the brains and limbs. By the incentives and motivation of artisans, idle people, who lost their jobs as a result of dwindling sales and profits of their former employers that downsize workers to right size and minimize costs towards maximizing profits, could effectively engage in one artisan job or the other. Unfortunately, those who possessed the artisanal skills have abandoned the trades as a result of poor earnings for 'work and eat dirty jobs.' Author Amusa Abdulateef researches showed that more than eighty percent of those doing the 'dirty jobs' have one skill or the other under the class of artisanship. His critical finding analyses confirmed that most idle hands in the underdeveloped nations like Nigeria left the skilled jobs for the daily earning job like commercial cabs and tri-cycle transport business as a result of their failure to horn and upgrade their inborn skills. Without hesitation, the author, based on his analytical findings concluded that the artisanal jobs are the most paying jobs in advanced economies. What should they do differently to meet the required standard in the business environment they are located? Answers are concisely presented with apt illustrations. In his final remarks, he is of the firm belief that nations that truly dream developing huge number of middle manpower must support artisans in their national economic plan and must also brace up to create right enabling environment for the artisans to grow at all time and places.In view of the above, author, Amusa Abdulateef, is optimistic that any nation that is able to develop through incentivizing of artisans shall grow the micro and macro economy within a short period of time. In addition, the wealth is spread across the boards especially when due recognition of artisans are done by the rich individuals, the institutions, the governments, the religion institutions and the professional associations in the awards of artisanal-based jobs at lucrative prices.The book is simply an eye opener for the private researchers, jobs consultants, the employment generation agencies, the students in colleges and institutions, the tutors handling entrepreneurial development courses and skills acquisition trainers. All libraries must not fail to stock copies with the book for the use of today and future researchers and employment consultants searching for suitable material that would empower the human potentials.
