The book features some classic American efficiency figures: the Gilbreths, Taylor, Brandeis, Ford (who in a fit of efficiency turned one of his hottest factory workspaces into a 'sanatorium' for workers with TB) plus a colourful cast of medical folks: EA Codman, MM Davis and the Bros Mayo and more.

Duke's book designers added this colour and shifted the images sideways. Gilbreth would have felt so seen. Thank you @dukepress.bsky.social for making this so lovely. I hope that you - potential readers - find that the text measures up. Here's a 30% off code if you want to see if it does: E25CGNTY.

The images are from Frank Gilbreth's studies of surgery, in which he swathed everybody in white and numbered and lettered surgical workers, grid-lined walls and then filmed and photographed their motions. Very on brand for Gilbreth, the results were visually captivating, if not terrifically useful.
