Description:Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Hope, as Emily Dickinson famously wrote, is the thing with feathers.

But this tension between the versions of nature that lodge in our minds and the realities that surround us is the central concern of Bird.This is no field guide. It's something far quirkier and more idiosyncratic, balancing science with story, anatomy with metaphor, habitat with history.
