Dust (Object Lessons)

"Yep, it’s precisely what it looks like: a book about dust. Well, that and the ways this all-but-invisible matter, this ever-accumulating nothing, pervades and reflects our relationship with the world. Dense topics, to be sure, but Michael Marder’s little book of philosophy — just one installment in a multiauthor series called Object Lessons — brings levity and loving care to his topic. It’s brisk, brief and slim enough to fit in your pocket; what better way to embrace all the big ideas these tiny specks offer?"
