Progress toward publication!

Progress on production of our 38th Parallel book at UC Press: looks like the cover will have a Rick Kattelmann aerial photo of the Mono Lake basin; looks like the title will be Traveling the 38th Parallel: a water line around the world; a copy editor is working on the text during the coming weeks; flyers for the book (which will be out in February/March) may even be available soon!  On an opening page, this epigraph will appear, quoting David Gaines from a Mono Lake Committee newsletter in 1986:  "If nature can heal an injured land, it can heal our...souls as well.  That's why saving Mono Lake is a matter of saving, and healing, ourselves.  Let's not change the planet.  Let the planet change us."
