Description:
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
Baked potatoes, Bombay potatoes, pommes frites . . . everyone eats potatoes, but what do they mean? To the United Nations they mean global food security (potatoes are the world's fourth most important food crop). To 18th-century philosophers they promised happiness. Nutritionists warn that too many increase your risk of hypertension. For the poet Seamus Heaney they conjured up both his mother and the 19th-century Irish famine.
What stories lie behind the ordinary potato? The potato is entangled with the birth of the liberal state and the idea that individuals, rather than communities, should form the building blocks of society. Potatoes also speak about family, and our quest for communion with the universe. Thinking about potatoes turns out to be a good way of thinking about some of the important tensions in our world.
Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

So so
Color: Knot Gold with Silver, Color: Knot Gold with Silver
I really like these earrings, contemplated buying them because of all the mixed reviews. I agree with others for $100 earrings the packaging is not good, not what you would expect for the price point, super cheap no dust bag. You Honeslty could probably get better packaging on temu. Earrings are nice, light weight on the ear and I really like the earring backs. Bought these on promo for $59 would not buy them full price.
