On high steel, the education of an ironworker by Cherry_ Mike
Listened to this on audio tape. Always like to learn about other careers and how they do their jobs.
Hand signals help them do their jobs, a language only they understand.
Interesting day at work and the secrets depending on what floor you are working on. So fascinating.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
