Dalla quarta di copertina

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The burger, long the All-American meal, is undergoing an identity crisis. From its shifting place in popular culture to the efforts, by investors such as Bill Gates, to seek to find the non-animal burger that can feed the world, the burgers identity has become as malleable as that patty of protein, itself, before it is thrown on a grill. Carol Adamss Burger is a fast-paced and eclectic exploration of the history, business, cultural dynamics and gender politics of the ordinary hamburger. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
