Host, Dr. Eugene Zampieron, ND, www.drznaturally.com, interviews Pulitzer Prize nominated author, Dan Egan about his book ‘The Death and Life of the Great Lakes’.

The PBS News Hour-New York Times book club, Now Read This, chose “The Death and Life of the Great Lakes” to be its April book of the month.

A native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Dan Egan grew to love Lake Michigan by spending summer weekends and vacations on the Door Peninsula, where both sets of his grandparents had summer homes. Egan is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Columbia School of Journalism. He is a reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and a senior water policy fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences. He has twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

The Great Lakes provide the largest source of fresh surface water in the world as well as food, work, and fun for tens of millions of people. Yet they are under threat as never before, and it’s only getting worse: their troubles are spreading like a virus down America’s waterways. In the grand tradition of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, Dan Egan’s THE DEATH AND LIFE OF THE GREAT LAKES is a master reporter’s landmark work that takes readers through the science, politics, history, and economics of the lakes, revealing an ecological catastrophe happening right before our eyes.
