Book Title: The Anarchist's Tool Chest
Author: Christopher Schwarz
Selection Statement:
I chose this book because it represents my hobby that I used as an outlet during the tenure process. The book lists basic hand tools needed to build furniture and how to use them. It also discusses why making things with our hands is an important endeavor. My research is in human moment and it is amazing to see all the connections between working with your hands to create (furniture in my case) and the study of muscle mechanics. Even when I was using my hobby as a break from my research, it helped give me new perspectives on human movement.
