Henry Ford: An Interpretation

Book Description

Regarded by many automotive historians as the finest and most dispassionate character study of Henry Ford ever written, Henry Ford: An Interpretation has long been out of print and priced out of the reach of many collectors. Published at the height of Ford s success in 1923, the volume was written by the Reverend Samuel S. Marquis, an Episcopalian minister who was also the head of the sociology department at Ford Motor Company. Instead of a history of Ford Motor Company or a simple retelling of Ford s life story, Marquis claims that his collection of essays is intended to analyze the psychological puzzle such as the unusual mind and personality of Henry Ford presents.

书名：亨利·福特：一种解读

被许多汽车历史学家视为对亨利·福特的最好、最冷静的性格研究，亨利·福特：一种解释早已绝版，许多收藏家负担不起。这本书出版于1923年福特成功的鼎盛时期，作者是圣公会牧师塞缪尔·S·马奎斯，他也是福特汽车公司社会学部门的负责人。马奎斯声称，他的散文集并不是福特汽车公司的历史，也不是简单地重述福特的生平故事，而是为了分析亨利·福特所呈现的不同寻常的心灵和个性等心理谜题。
