In the first part of our Reverse Course series, Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd goes deep into the Northwoods of Minnesota to learn how trees adapted to warmer climates might help the state's forests thrive long into the future. And, a new law signed by Gov. Greg Abbott overrides worker protections, taking away water breaks from construction workers in order to regulate businesses across Texas. Daniela Hernandez, state legislative coordinator for the Workers Defense Project in Texas, talks about this as the state experiences a dangerous heat wave. Then, as we head into summer, "The Stacks" podcats creator Traci Thomas picks her favorite nonfiction books of the past half-year that she says are "un-put-downable."
