In "Hollowing Out The Middle," authors PATRICK CARR and Maria Kefalas examine the exodus from America's small towns. To do this, the two moved to a small town in Iowa where they conducted over a hundred interviews to determine why some young people leave and others stay, despite the worsening opportunities for good-paying jobs.
DOUGLAS GAYETON, a multimedia artist and champion of the Slow Food movement, combined his two passions in his new book "Slow: Life in a Tuscan Town." With an introduction by Alice Waters, this illustrated memoir and lesson in regional cuisine focuses on the small villages in Tuscany where the Slow Food movement, which started as a backlash against fast food, is simply a way of life.
Rolling Stone contributing editor ANTHONY DECURTIS talks about "Blues and Chaos," a collection of pieces written by legendary music critic Robert Palmer. The articles, which appeared originally in Rolling Stone and the New York Times, were arranged thematically and edited by DeCurtis.
Bob Edwards Weekend is a two-hour interview showcase, in which celebrated host Bob Edwards highlights the life and work of interesting people, from newsmakers, historians, and authors to artists, actors, and regular folks too.
