Summary

Are beavers a plague to the natural world, or are they nature's incredible engineers? Depends on who you ask, but, hey beavers, consider keeping a low profile for a while. Novelist A.M. Homes has yet to write a beaver book, but she's out with a new offering, The Unfolding, in which she weighs into the most controversial of all subjects … politics. And Mike's take on Jackson, Mississippi's awful water mess.
