Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Hope, as Emily Dickinson
famously wrote, is the thing with feathers. Erik Anderson, on the
other hand, regards our obsession with birds as too sentimental,
too precious. Birds don't express hope. They express themselves.
But this tension between the versions of nature that lodge in our
minds and the realities that surround us is the central theme of
Bird. This is no field guide. It's something far more unusual and
idiosyncratic, balancing science with story, anatomy with metaphor,
habitat with history. Anderson illuminates the dark underbelly of
our bird fetish and offers a fresh, alternative vision of one of
nature's most beloved objects. Object Lessons is published in
partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
