Wohlforth Wins LA Times Book Award For Science

A Hearty Heisengeistian Huzzah! for Charles as he walks away from a LA party with the 2004 Times award for Science and Technology book of the year. His presenter, brilliant astronaut Sally Ride. Not Angelina Jolie. Ah, well.

From the LA Times-

"A nonfiction environmental book, Charles Wohlforth's "The Whale and the Supercomputer: On the Northern Front of Climate Change," won the science and technology award.

"From his vantage point on the undermined ice of a too-warm Alaskan winter, Charles Wohlforth gives an interesting, informative, introspective, philosophical and beautifully written account of the consequences of climate change," the judges said. "His story combines the research efforts of scientists studying global warming with the insights and experiences of the Inupiat — the Eskimos of the Arctic Ocean coast … to interpret the whispered warning from 'the white world' of the far north."
