It is an absolutely ubiquitous object, even if most of us have no \u003ci\u003edirect\u003c\/i\u003e contact with it. But what is this thing? Where has it been, and where is it going? Craig Martin's book illuminates the \"development of containerization\"--including design history, standardization, aesthetics, and a surprising speculative discussion of the futurity of shipping containers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Shipping Container","offer_id":46665067626693,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-5013-0314-2.jpg?v=1785967957","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/shipping-container","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
