Forty million people along the shores of the world's greatest freshwater seas are battling twin hazards of record high water and continuing pollution. With a spiritual strength honed by centuries of isolation, the Nepalese of Kathmandu Valley have opened their lives to the secular world and its distinctly modern problems. This ubiquitous legume keeps cropping up in more places that we can imagine. In a model development project, described by its chief engineer Hans van Duivendijk, human muscle dams the Feni River in Bangladesh. Off Canada's west coast, Moira Johnston and Dewitt Jones record a logging controversy that both threatens and unites the remnants of a proud people fighting to save their heritage. Herpetologist William Brown and Bianca Lavies portray a little known, beleaguered reptile whose habitat in the eastern United States is shrinking. 20120228. Kathmandu Nepal. Soybeans.
