Between extremes of climate farther north and south, the 38th North
parallel line marks a temperate, middle latitude where human
societies have thrived since the beginning of civilization. It
divides North and South Korea, passes through Athens and San
Francisco, and bisects Mono Lake in the eastern Sierra Nevada,
where authors David and Janet Carle make their home. Former park
rangers, the authors set out on an around-the-world journey in
search of water-related environmental and cultural intersections
along the 38th parallel. This book is a chronicle of their
adventures as they meet people confronting challenges in water
supply, pollution, wetlands loss, and habitat protection. At the
heart of the narrative are the riveting stories of the passionate
individuals--scientists, educators, and local activists--who are
struggling to preserve some of the world's most amazing, yet
threatened, landscapes.
