| LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND FOR HAMMERS, NAILS, AND SAWS. In 1986, Andy Hoffman quit an engineering job, declined acceptances for graduate school at Harvard and Berkeley and accepted a carpenter’s job in Nantucket. Unbeknownst to him, he had entered the world of high-end custom building. Within four years, he was supervising the construction of a 29,000 square-foot mansion on a 180-acre estate in Fairfield County Connecticut. This book Builder’s Apprentice is about his personal and professional growth along that journey, from apprentice to builder through the tutelage of a seasoned and hard-nosed builder. EVERY REVOLUTION NEEDS A GOOD BAR. In Ann Arbor, Michigan, that bar was the Del Rio. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ann Arbor morphed from a quiet, Republican university town to an epicenter of the “counterculture” and liberal-left politics.
In Liberty, Equality, Consensus and all that jazz at the Del Rio Bar, social scientist/epidemiologist and former Del Rio owner Ernie Harburg shares the “warts and all” story of the social experiment that was this business establishment — somehow, miraculously run by consensus, right down to hiring and firing. And amazingly, the bar stayed open, sometimes just barely, until 2004. In one quixotic bar is the story of a generation.
