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


The story of the compact disc is also the story of the end of physical media. It is the story of how the quest for perfection laid the grounds for the death of a great industry. For in the passage from analogue media, like records and tapes, to digital formats, like CDs, something changed in the nature of media and in the relationship we have with music. Music became code, a sequence of 1s and 0s, a flow of pure information. The material structure of the medium itself was always supposed to disappear. But the physical has proved to possess an uncanny knack for returning.


Today the CD is a zombie medium, still popular amongst certain avant-garde record labels and Japanese consumers. Against all the odds, the spectre endures.


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

Very good lawn edger
It does a great job and easy to create straight, clean lines. Does not do well going around curves.

Great value.
Works great, easy to handle, relatively quiet, and powerful enough to cut through 3 inches of sod.

Trim me up
The trimmer works as described. It arrived as promised, it manicured my 80 ft linear ft in no time. I ran 2 passes because I hadn’t done it in decades.

Great edger
This is a great lightweight and portable edger. It’s much easier to use than a gasoline powered model. The only limiting factor is the length of the electric cord. It does a great job and make sure your driveways and sidewalk look manicured.

Awesome edger
This is our second purchase of this product. We had the first one for over ten years and we ended up breaking it(our fault). Immediately bought same one. This is a reliable machine. It goes right through thick weeds and rock hard dirt to edge a lawn or trench. Like I said our previous one lasted ten years and worked just as well in year ten never replaced the blade once. This one came with a back up blade as well which is a bonus. Highly recommend this. Easy to assemble. Takes five minutes. Durable. Powerful. There is hieght adjustment as well. Well worth the price!
