I missed that this had been announced. The Russell Major Prize Committee was delighted to be able to honor Catherine Dunlop's book

*The Mistral: A Windswept History of Modern France*

which is a super interesting & engaging environmental history of modern France, with a wind as its protagonist! 🗃️
