 Inquiry: James Prosek and Erik Hirschfeld Sunday, June 23, 9:00PM Writer, artist and modern day Izaak Walton, James Prosek talks about "Trout of the World," the new, revised and updated book that showcases the beauty and endless variety of the planets' trout species. There are 389 species of birds that are considered "Endangered" by BirdLife International. An additional 197 species are considered to be "Critically Endangered" meaning that if something is not done quickly, these species will soon become extinct. Why are so many species of birds in trouble and what can be done about it? At 9:30pm, Erik Hirschfeld, a freelance writer, guide and consultant in ornithology speaks with Mark Lynch. Together with Andy Swash and Robert Sill, they have written "The World's Rarest Birds," a state of the art volume that describes and illustrates all of those endangered bird species and explains why those species got to be so rare.

Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of unemployed who don't fit the federal government's definition. Grace Ross is a Worcester Anti-Foreclosure Team member and author of the book, "Main Street $marts," a study of the most recent economic and foreclosure crisis. Read More...
