Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The sapiens of the sea,
whales are the other intelligent, social, and loquacious animal.
But they seem to swim away the more people chase after them in an
effort to communicate and connect. Why does the meaning of their
mesmerizing songs continue to elude us? In times of unprecedented
environmental and social loss, Whale Song ponders the problems
facing ocean ecosystems and offers lessons from those depths for
human social life and intimacy. Object Lessons is published in
partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
