Photographer Aaron Hautala (right) and writer Michael Nordskog (left) are currently gathering material for a book to be published by the University of Minnesota Press in the fall of 2010 about saunas in the Lake Superior region. This sauna book will consider everything from Finnish immigrant saunas dating back to the Civil War era to the latest architectural examples, while telling the stories of sauna use from the distant past to current enjoyment by those who seek the benefits of the relationship between sauna and health.
