+## Merge objects
+
+You can use `Object.assign()` to merge properties of two or more objects:
+
+```javascript
+var a = {
+    foo:'bar'
+}
+
+var b = {
+    awesome:true
+}
+
+Object.assign(a, b);
+
+console.log(a);
+```
+
+This is extremely useful when you need to create a brand new object that is a clone of another one with some minor changes (happens all the time with Redux):
+
+```javascript
+var bob = {
+    name:'Bob',
+    age: 42
+}
+
+var sally = Object.assign({}, bob, {name:'Sally'})
+
+console.log(sally);
+```
