bmanglass 's review for:
World Without End
by Jean-Marc Jancovici, Christophe Blain
This graphic novel, created collaboratively by a French comic artist and climate researcher, taught me a ton about climate change, energy consumption, and the ways in which our societies have changed over the course of history. The book covers a ton of information and may overwhelm some readers, but I found it to be a highly valuable overview. The art itself definitely feels in service to the information provided (and more comic-y than artsy graphic novel-y,) but regardless of style it definitely aided in my understanding of the concepts. I occasionally lamented that much of the data was so France-specific, but it did help to have a clear, narrow focus (and the work covers way more than France alone.) I would recommend this book to others who enjoy graphic novels and do not yet have a solid, foundational grasp on the specifics of climate change and energy consumption on Earth.
