And I had such high hopes

Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Stiefvater

October 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I first heard of Swamp Thing: Twin Branches I figured it was going to be how the human who is to be Swamp thing became ST like the TV show of the 1980’s. (Good camp, bad everything else.) And like many of the DC graphic novels, Maggie Stiefvater was going to have a teen boy come of age and then, turn into part of nature. I thought it was going to be bittersweet but still nice. Afterall, I always thought that this creature was […]

1967 was not groovy all over

I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 Graphic Novel) by Georgia Ball

August 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The I Survived Series in the novel format is fun, but I think they were (especially I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 Graphic Novel) was meant for the graphic novel genre. However, for the sensitive reader, there might be a few images and situations that might not be great for them. Adapted by Georgia Ball from the Lauren Tarshis series, there is no question what side the author is on when it comes to who is the “good bear” and who is the […]

Intersectional environmentalism argues that the same systems of oppression that oppress people also oppress and degrade the planet.

The Intersectional Environmentalist by Leah Thomas

March 2, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

There is a person in my life with whom I share many values, but he consistently dismisses race and gender as things about which he ought to be concerned.  Because he doesn’t consider himself to hold racist beliefs, he doesn’t understand why we’ve all been talking about race when we really ought to be focused on climate change. Since I am a known radical, he has largely dismissed my insistence that climate change can’t be solved without also dismantling patriarchy and white supremacy. While my […]

Yo’ Ho Hum and a bottle of Root Beer at the bottom of the ocean

The Aquanaut: A Graphic Novel by Dan Santat

January 24, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Aquanaut: A Graphic Novel is a cute story with a theme about environmentalism, animal conservation and family. The story is when a handful of sea creatures find a surprise at the bottom of the ocean, it leads them on an adventure with a young girl and her uncle. A Sea-World like park is filled with the research and animals found by Sophia’s father (lost at sea several years ago) and her uncle.

Post-Growth Living Cover

The Good Life is not the goods life.

Post-Growth Living: For an Alternative Hedonism by Kate Soper

May 19, 2021 by Halbs 3 Comments

Kate Soper’s Post-Growth Living is split in two. It’s about environmentalism and true human flourishing. It’s about doing the right and also pragmatism. This isn’t a pie in the sky philosophy book – it looks at where we are right now and how we can change our thinking and therefore our action in order to build a more sustainable and happy future. In some ways this book could make more enemies than friends – Soper goes after our current cultural desire for more more more. […]

Super Sons V02 The Foxglove Mission by Ridley Pearson

April 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Super Sons series should be read back-to-back as it had been at least a year since reading book one (The Polarshield Project) and I had forgotten the action/plot of the book. This made reading book two, The Foxglove Mission, awkward to say the least. Book two of Ridley Pearson’s graphic novel series is obviously the “middle book.” There is the buildup, some action, but in the end, you know it is the diving board for you to jump into book three. It is not […]
