August’s main class is a large one- the 600s. It is known as the “Technology” category. However, that classification can be a bit misleading. There is definitely technology related subdivisions (for example, 621- Applied Physics and 660- Chemical engineering), but it also covers areas that one might not associate with technology. These include human anatomy (611), gardening (635), animal husbandry (636), food and drink (aka cooking- 641), child rearing (649), and building (690).
The 600s are sort of a catch-all for a variety of subjects that can loosely be connected to “technology.”
With such a diverse range of subdivisions, there really is something for everyone in this main class.
Here are some other interesting subdivisions:
610- Medicine & Health 616- Diseases 624- Civil Engineering 629- Other branches of engineering (cars) 632- Plant injuries, diseases, and pests 638- Insect culture 640- Home and Family Management 648- Housekeeping 653- Shorthand 663- Beverage technology 664- Food technology 669- Metallurgy 670- Manufacturing 676- Paper and pulp technology 682- Small forge work (blacksmithing) 687- Clothing and accessories 694- Wood construction and carpentry
