Located in the middle of North America lies one of the largest collections of freshwater lakes in the world. 

These lakes have a unique geological origin and function, like few lakes in the world. 

Also, given their location, they are home to several large industrial centers and is part of one of the most important economic waterways on the planet.

Novelist Barbara Kingsolver loves living in the Appalachian hills of southwestern Virginia. But she says she feels that the region is often misconstrued by mainstream media. Her new book, Demon Copperhead, follows a young boy grappling with the consequences of loss, addiction and poverty – but also finding ways to survive through creativity and imagination. In this episode, Kingsolver speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about the Dickensian influences in the novel, the divide between urban and rural, and the idea that "the middle of nowhere is relative."

In 1947, a Norwegian adventurer named Thor Heyerdahl set out to prove a theory of his that the people of Polynesia came there from South America.

To prove his theory, he built a raft out of local materials in Peru and set sail across the Pacific.

His voyage was successful, but the same couldn’t be said for his theories. 

Learn more about Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki Expedition on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Jessica Johns' thriller, Bad Cree, opens with a startling image: a severed crow's head in someone's hand. In today's episode, Johns tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe she hoped that image would set the tone for the winding mystery within her new novel. It follows a young Cree woman who returns to a home and culture she left behind in hopes of helping her cope with grief. Much of Mackenzie's story involves her dreams, and Johns explains why she felt it was so important to honor that world – especially after a professor told her otherwise.

John J. Miller is joined by Steve Krakauer to discuss his new book, 'Uncovered.'
