His father became the main authority of this humble but important vegetable, and his learned book remains the standard work on the subject.
History and Description of craftsman\'s hand
Rafael Salaman, as the subject of his long-term research, may have unconsciously followed his father\'s example of raising seemingly simple and ordinary daily necessities to the field of academic research.
But this is typical of saraman\'s attitude towards life.
He is not a cult of wealth and power, but he is very respectful of artisans and their products.
He wants to know how things are done.
Bernard Myers asked, \"What is the balance between the two hands that pull or push, bend or twist, stretch or compress each other, adding up to the finished product?
Unlike most British Jewish families, saraman lives in the country, and Raphael tells how he used to study the production of tools by observing the craftsmen of barley in his village when he was a child, in Harford County

He was chosen as a Labor MP for Paddington, and when he moved to haben, he became the governor of St. George\'s school.
Throughout his life, he has been focusing on researching and collecting the hands of artisans --
He published two outstanding dictionaries, which he eventually published.
They won wide acclaim.
When the work of carpentry appeared in 1975, Sir Joseph Needham, then Master of Gonville and Caius College, wrote in his preface: rafael Salaman belongs to the lineage of those scholars and educated people who do not despise handmade crafts practiced in this different culture.
What they despise is traditional class values.
Social stratification.
Ignoring all of these obstacles, they wholeheartedly describe the type and name of tools and machines used daily in merchant technical operations.
Needham recalled how he worked with Salaman at the beginning of the Christian era to write two papers on the Chinese wheel Wright art, and he was pleased to bring the academic and attribution work days: engineering Department from Cambridge Mark & Spencer Limited, Gunville and Keus College.

Whether his achievements in his research field will be equalled, let alone surpassed, is questionable.
