Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The ocean comprises the
largest object on our planet. Retelling human history from an
oceanic rather than terrestrial point of view unsettles our
relationship with the natural environment. Our engagement with the
world's oceans can be destructive, as with today's deluge of
plastic trash and acidification, but the mismatch between small
bodies and vast seas also emphasizes the frailty and resilience of
human experience. From ancient stories of shipwrecked sailors to
the containerized future of 21st-century commerce, Ocean splashes
the histories we thought we knew into salty and unfamiliar places.
Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in
The Atlantic.
