Wild mushrooms grow in the dense Amazon rainforest near the northern city of Manaus, Brazil, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2007. New studies suggest the Amazon may be approaching a tipping point, at which the drier conditions caused by deforestation will reduce rainfall enough to transform the humid tropical forest into a giant savanna.

Wild mushrooms grow in the dense Amazon rainforest near the northern city of Manaus, Brazil, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2007. New studies suggest the Amazon may be approaching a tipping point, at which the drier conditions caused by deforestation will reduce rainfall enough to transform the humid tropical forest into a giant savanna.

Christina Sauer, associate editor for National Geographic, talks about "Why? The Human Body: 99+ Awesome Answers for Curious Kids."

Then, author and professor Emily Monosson discusses her latest research and book "Blight: Fungi and the Coming Pandemic."
