The paperback, all color, 2nd edition of our book, Traveling the 38th Parallel: A Water Line Around the World, has been selected as Winner in the International Book Awards in the Travel category. Quite an honor! The 11th Annual International Book Awards, sponsored by American Book Fest, were given to books published in 2018, 2019, or 2020, with 2000 entrants to 90 categories. While our book is also an environmental exploration, the closest category available in the contest was "Travel." Maybe the sponsors will decide to create an environmental non-fiction category in the future. We are ecstatic at this recognition. More information can be seen about results at the 11th Annual International Book Awards webpage.
David and Janet Carle traveled the 38th Parallel seeking water-related environmental and cultural connections. Their book, TRAVELING THE 38th PARALLEL: A WATER LINE AROUND THE WORLD was published in hardcover by the University of California Press (2013) and is now in paperback with 60 color photos and updates to 2020. They crossed through parts of the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Why 38°N? See the answer posted in September 2009.
