Excerpt from Mount Tom, Vol. 7: An All Outdoors Magazine; Devoted to Rest and Worship, and to a Little Look-Off on the World; June-July, 1912
I have had occasion nearly every day for the past two weeks to pass by an ancient churchyard on a great hillside, not far from London. Most of the stones are very old, and seem to have been thoughtfully and reverently, flake by flake, wrought into their final form by long-vanished hands. As I stand and watch them, with the yews and cypresses flocking about them, it is as if in some sort of way they had surely been wrought by the hands of those that loved them, so full are they of grief, of joy, of devotion, and of a kind of solemn singing among the dead.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a central paradox in the modern world: the tension between the presence of advanced machinery and a perceived decline in the quality of work. The author explores two distinct mindsets that have developed around machinery in industrial settings: one that sees machines as inherently dispiriting and another that sees them as tools for empowerment. Through vivid descriptions and compelling examples, the author argues that the key to bridging this divide lies in fostering a "spirit of achievement" over a mere "spirit of weariness" in the workplace. By recognizing the creative potential of machines and embracing a collaborative approach between employers and employees, the author believes that a more humane and productive work environment can be achieved. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to rethink their preconceptions about machines and human labor, offering a vision of progress that celebrates both technological advancement and the value of human ingenuity.
