Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. For over two thousand
years magnets have inspired tales of myth, magic, exploration,
science, and art. From the physical to the metaphorical, our
language is littered with magnetic allusions: magnetic
personalities, animal magnetism, mesmerism, and magnetic
attraction. We take them for granted yet magnets are essential to
our existence--as important as gravity--and to our survival on this
planet and in this universe. Eva Barbarossa's Magnet weaves
together stories of ancient and modern wonders, of discovery and
creation, of madness and desire, of beauty and awe, taking us from
the spectacle of the aurora borealis to the disastrous searches for
the North Pole. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an
essay series in The Atlantic.
