Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
These days the bicycle often appears as an interloper in a world constructed for cars. An almost miraculous 19th-century contraption, the bicycle promises to transform our lives and the world we live in, yet its time seems always yet-to-come or long-gone-by. Jonathan Maskit takes us on an interdisciplinary ride to see what makes the bicycle a magical machine that could yet make the world a safer, greener, and more just place. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury AcademicISBN-13:9781501338090ISBN-10:1501338099UPC:9781501338090Book Category:Social Science, Philosophy, Literary CriticismBook Subcategory:Anthropology, Aesthetics, Semiotics & TheoryBook Topic:Cultural & SocialSize:6.54 x 4.94 x 0.29 inchesWeight:0.3505Product ID:SCD1HRE0Q8
