Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

It towers over us and yet fades into background. Its lifespan outstrips ours, and yet its wisdom remains inaccessible, treasured up within its heartwood. It serves us in many ways-as keel, lodgepole, and execution site-and yet to become human, we had to come down from its branches. A model for history and a matrix for the malevolent, the tree occupies great swathes of cultural territory; despite its stationary habit, it does a great deal of meaning-making work in human worlds. A study of the tree's many natures, this book offers a branching meditation on the forms, uses, and alliances of the arborescent.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in the The Atlantic.

Arvustused

What astonishingly good writing! What a joy of a book. What a mind, this Matthew Battles. As he writes about trees, Battles could as well be describing his own wild mind: 'uncanny, possessed of depths and mystery, and feral in ways beyond my ken, . . . overspilling with dark abundance, . . . richly disruptive to ones daily commute.' * Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Great Tide Rising: Toward Clarity and Moral Courage in a Time of Planetary Change (2016) and Piano Tide: A Novel (2016) * Battles shows how trees--and perhaps more importantly our relationships with trees--are incredibly complicated. Even dappling--that wonderful light that comes through a trees leaves--is not as simple as it seems He makes clear that trees and their data have important stories to tell. That is if we let them. * PopMatters *
