No Country for Engineers

This book is an interesting, frank, eye-opening and sometimes funny account of one man's career path in manufacturing engineering during a period of change in the late twentieth century. The British manufacturing industry is explained through a series of well-observed anecdotes. Reflecting on his own career, H. G. Evans clearly documents the historical and political forces which influenced political and economic decision-making in the British manufacturing industry at the turn of the century, and also considers the future by challenging some contemporary thinking on current 'hot' political issues – a thought-provoking must-read for anyone who has an interest in their country, industry, engineering, politics, history or education.
