The Whale and the Supercomputer: On the Northern Front of Climate Change: Climate change isn't an abstraction in the far North; it is a reality that has dramatically altered daily life. In this gripping account, Charles Wohlforth follows two groups as they navigate a radically shifting landscape; the scientists who attempt to decipher its smallest elements and to derive from them a set of abstract laws and models, and the natives who draw on uncannily accurate traditional knowledge born of long experience living close to the land. Together, they illuminate a world in flux and a way forward as climate change reaches us all.
