How did the storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald leave its mark on the Great Lakes—and on Wisconsin's maritime history? Join Steve Ackerman with UW-Madison as he explores the famous wreck, offering perspectives on the weather that contributed to the now-infamous disaster, the construction of the ship itself and the popular tune by Gordon Lightfoot that has shown up in folklore, commercial media and more.   

Steve Ackerman is the Former Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education at UW-Madison. Ackerman, an Emeritus Professor within the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, is an expert in the area of satellite meteorology.

Jackie Robinson, Oprah Winfrey, Harrison Ford, Elvis Presley, Orson Welles—at first glance, these household names may seem unrelated to Wisconsin history. But in an engaging essay collection, Dean Robbins brings them—and many others—together, offering a unique perspective on legendary figures with often surprising connections to the state. Get a firsthand look at pictures and videos and hear humorous anecdotes as Robbins establishes Wisconsin as a notably influential crossroads for people who changed the world. Wisconsin Idols has been praised by Wisconsin Public Radio, the Wisconsin State Journal, Milwaukee Magazine, the Capital Times and WTMJ-TV, and was chosen as Book of the Month by both the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Madison Magazine.  

Dean Robbins is a journalist who has contributed to USA Today, The New York Daily News, GRAMMY magazine, and other national media outlets, as well as serving as editor in chief of Isthmus and On Wisconsin magazine. He is also a children’s author whose books have appeared on many best-of-the-year lists, earning praise in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal.

They say good things come in small packages—world-traveler and author Mary Bergin proves this on every page of Small-Town Wisconsin, revealing dozens of wondrous little destinations bound to delight travelers of all stripes who crave safe, fun, surprising and under-the-radar escapes from big-city bustle. An eclectic mix of communities makes the cut in this selective guide to rural treasures—many of which are lesser-known or unheard of but offer natural beauty, unique spirit and enduring character in spades. Each go-to spot on Bergin’s list is a town of no more than 5,000—and often less than 1,000—people.  

Mary Bergin has traveled the world but is most likely to pay attention to her home turf, the often-overlooked Midwest U.S. The lifelong journalist lives in Madison, and her awards include five Lowell Thomas honors, the highest recognition for North American travel journalists. From 2002 to 2019, Mary produced a weekly and syndicated newspaper column about close-to-home travel and food. Her other work has been syndicated nationally through the Chicago Tribune Content Agency and USA Today networks.
