In the early 20th century, the Watertown Arsenal became a beacon of innovation through the application of Frederick Taylor's principles of scientific management. From 1908 to 1915, the implementation of Taylorism revolutionized production processes at the arsenal, setting a new standard for efficiency and productivity in manufacturing.

Under the guidance of Taylor and his associates, the arsenal workers were meticulously studied and their tasks meticulously analyzed to streamline operations. By breaking down each job into its most basic components and utilizing time-motion studies, the workers' productivity levels soared, leading to significant improvements in output and quality.

The adoption of scientific management at Watertown Arsenal not only transformed manufacturing practices but also influenced the broader industrial landscape, setting the stage for modern management techniques that are still in use today. This period stands as a testament to the power of applying scientific principles to optimize processes and achieve remarkable results.

FROM THE PREFACE: “n some 200 years of national sovereignty, Americans have been preoccupied repeatedly with trying to understand and control one form of violence or another. Most periods of our history bear witness to substantial collective violence. On the road to collective bargaining and peaceful picketing, there was much violent conflict. The more rural settlements around mines were often the scene of bloody conflict, and urban industrial conflict carried with it violence on the picket lines and the destruction of company property. Perhaps the major success story in control of collective violence is the substitution of peaceful for violent means in resolving conflicts between labor and management. Urban riots are part and parcel of our history from late colonial times. In the latter half of this century, ethnic and racial tensions have erupted in urban riots, destroying life and neighborhoods of some of our major cities. Responding to urban riots in the summer of 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (known as the Kerner Commission after its chair, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner), which issued its report in 1968. The report focused both on how local community and national action can deal with immediate responses to riot and on long-range prevention through the reduction of inequality in housing, education, welfare…”

FROM THE PREFACE: “While interest in social and community intervention has expanded dramatically in the last several decades, a number of areas have yet to receive thorough and intensive scrutiny, and as a group, they have not been brought together in a single source. An integration, overview, and critical appraisal of this nature by recognized experts is a felt need for graduate students and professionals in a variety of disciplines, as well as by legislators and social policymakers interested in planning and developing current and future social programs and policies. Meeting these needs is precisely the objective of the Handbook of Social Intervention. The Handbook is addressed to both students and professionals and should serve as a valuable resource volume for courses related to planned social change and policy. These courses come under a wide array of disciplines and professions- anthropology, economics, education, law, political science, psychology, psychiatry, social policy programs and institutes, sociology, social work, and urban planning…”
