=Malik McFadden= As I’m flipping through the pages of this book, the first feeling I have is a jaw dropping feeling of awe, from the utter massiveness of the book itself. Honestly If you read through the captions of the pictures, I believe that the largeness of the book actually extenuates the overall message the boook is trying to portray. The book does a great job of adressing an issue and then providing an attention grabber of a picture. On one page the picture shows hundreds of little circles, the caption states “ Assimilation, proceeds by biotic cleansing and the impoverishment of others”. Thoughtout this picture book they use the pictures to say more and extenuate the words. On one page of the book, the picture shows a wide angle lens picture taken is spain, and the picture is about the afro-industrial machine that is becoming harder and harder to manage and also devouring world resources. The main ideas of this book are obviously very liberal and an open look on the world. The authors/author is for energy conservation, world resource conservation, and for world peace.

My experience reading and looking at this book is very unique. I don’t think I’ve read basically a picture book that had such a great message to the readers. The author uses the power of pictures to evoke emotion and then back up those feelings to gain interest with the captions found throughout the book. By reading this excerpt of the book I’ve learned about the devasting effects of the world hunger crisis, the importance of using clean and renewable energy such as solar panels to save the earth that we live on.
