Paperback. Condition: New. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Grave takes a ground-level view of how burial sites have transformed over time and how they continue to change. As a cemetery tour guide, Allison C. Meier has spent more time walking among tombstones than most. Even for her, the grave has largely been invisible, an out of the way and unobtrusive marker of death. However, graves turn out to be not always so subtle, reverent, or permanent.While the indigent and unidentified have frequently been interred in mass graves, a fate brought into the public eye during the COVID-19 pandemic, the practice today is not unlike burials in the potter's fields of the colonial era. Burial is not the only option, of course, and Meier analyzes the rise of cremation, green burial, and new practices like human composting, investigating what is next for the grave and how existing spaces of death can be returned to community life.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Driving through the panhandle of Oklahomaa land so flat and seemingly empty that its name of No Mans Land drifts through your thoughts as you look at the endless horizonits still easy to imagine the blight of the Dust Bowl. The dust has now long ago settled in Oklahoma, and the Woody Guthrie Center opened in 2013 in Tulsa, encouraging one of his biggest fans, Bob Dylan, to establish his own archives on the same block. Yet Guthries writings about the experience of being a migrant, the ruin of the land from our disregard for its care, and the struggle to support yourself under a government that undermines your survival, all remain radically relevant today.Considering the influence of Dust Bowl Ballads on what an album can be in terms of its storytelling and activism, this book explores the album in its contemporary context. It draws on the author's first-hand visits to sites related to Guthrie and this album and includes interviews with people who have been creatively engaging with the legacy of this album, such as artists and musicians. While many people are familiar with his anthemic This Land Is Your Land, there is much more to explore in Guthries musical impact, with the Dust Bowl Ballads albumhis first major commercial releasebeing a touchpoint for his legacy.
