The Whale and the Supercomputer

On the Northern Front of Climate Change

Charles Wohlforth North Point Press

Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Science and Technology

"The Whale and the Supercomputer skillfully melds two very different worlds: the whaling culture of northern Alaska's Iñupiaq, and the at-times equally mysterious culture and methods of the scientific community. Along the way, he delivers many salient points about real-world impacts of global warming, which is clobbering northern latitudes first and hardest."—Robert Krier, The San Diego Union-Tribune
