Climate change is no laughing matter—but maybe it should be. The topic is so critical that everyone, from students to policy-makers to voters, needs a quick and easy guide to the basics. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change entertains as it educates, delivering a unique and enjoyable presentation of mind-blowing facts and critical concepts. "Stand-up economist" Yoram Bauman and award-winning illustrator Grady Klein have created the funniest overview of climate science, predictions, and policy that you’ll ever read. You’ll giggle, but you’ll also learn—about everything from Milankovitch cycles to carbon taxes. If those subjects sound daunting, consider that Bauman and Klein have already written two enormously successful cartoon guides to economics, making this notoriously dismal science accessible to countless readers. Bauman has a PhD in economics and has taught at both the high school and college level, but he now makes a living performing at comedy clubs, universities, and conferences, sharing the stage with personalities as diverse as Robin Williams and Paul Krugman. The authors know how to get a laugh—and they know their facts. This cartoon introduction is based on the latest report from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and integrates Bauman’s expertise on economics and policy. If economics can be funny, then climate science can be a riot. Sociologists have argued that we don’t address global warming because it’s too big and frightening to get our heads around. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change takes the intimidation and gloom out of one of the most complex and hotly debated challenges of our time.

La 4eme de couv. indique : "L'économie peut être simple, nous parler de notre quotidien et même nous faire rire. C'est le pari que prennent les auteurs de cette bande-dessinée pas comme les autres, qui entraîne le lecteur à la (re- )découverte de la microéconomie. L'économie en BD décrit ainsi les grands principes - maximisation de l'utilité, théorie des jeux, dilemme du prisonnier, sélection adverse, etc. - de façon décalée et ludique, dans un souci constant de pédagogie. Et, soudain, la théorie se voit ajouter ce petit grain de sel qui lui donne la saveur de la vraie vie. Probablement le meilleur manuel d'économie que vous ayez pu lire! "

Comprendre les maths n'aura jamais été aussi simple ! "Avec cette nouvelle BD, Klein et Bauman s'attaquent avec humour, mais non sans rigueur, à explorer deux sommets de l'analyse mathématique : le calcul intégral et le calcul différentiel, si utiles et pourtant si redoutés par les étudiants." Jean Tirole, économiste, président de la Toulouse School of Economies et prix Nobel d'Economie "Un livre à lire sans modération ! "Roland Lehoucq, astrophysicien au Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) "Pour acquérir la maîtrise du sujet, il faudra naturellement une pratique qui ne viendra qu'avec les exercices, mais les idées fondamentales et la motivation sont bien là !
