Non-fiction book review - Astonishing and Extinct Professions

 

Astonishing and Extinct Professions by Markus Rottmann

The construct for this book is a solid one. Rottmann introduces us to the basics of a job, it's role in society, and the technological or sociological influences that lead to it's decline. While there isn't a great deal of depth to any of these descriptions, we do get more than just a handful of factoids. It might not be the most compelling book that a kid will read but is a curiosity that can easily be enjoyed in bits and pieces. For both fans of history and those who find it "boring".
