I approached Life with the idea of publishing an updated 15-part World We 
Live In to be serialized starting in late 2002 (around the 50th anniversary 
of the start of the original 13-part serial), but their editors seemed to be 
uninterested. At least, they were uninterested in having >me< outline the 
contents and write the text (heck, I'm no Lincoln Barnett!); but I don't 
think they have plans to do anything like that ever again. Too bad; the 
series introduced a huge number of kids, including me, to the natural world.
