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

Written by a veteran flight attendant who ultimately left for a life on the ground, Lori Jakiela pulls back the curtain on a job that has been glamorized, mythologized, sexualized, misrepresented, and misunderstood. Flight Attendant unveils the truth about the not-always-friendly skies and the realities of working in a profession that has mediated our experience of being in the air from the golden age of Pan Am 747's to today's long-haul economy cabins.

Flight Attendant offers an insider's look at a sometimes magical, but often heart-wrenching and challenging career in an embattled industry built on the dream that flight equals freedom, and that travel, wherever we take off and wherever we land, enriches our lives.
