Projects Editorial Review
One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw is a well-researched book covering the subject of tools, specifically screws and screwdrivers. While some reviewers noted that the author takes a more meandering path to the topic and can come off as a bit impressed with his own brilliance, overall readers found the book fascinating and informative. The author provides historical context and technical information on the screw's origins, machines built to make screws, and the use of screws in marine applications. The book also delves into the political reasons for the current prevalence of flat head screws over Phillips head screws. The paperback edition features illustrations that have been poorly reproduced, but the content is still engaging and thought-provoking. Overall, the book is recommended for anyone interested in tools, engineering, or ancient history.
