It Takes a Village

摘要

A couple of years ago, we set out along with a team of ecologists to sample 100 lakes along the east coast of South America. We discovered that the task was easier said than done. Our four-wheel-drive pickup was stolen in Brazil and had to be restored by airplane. In the far south of Argentina, our boat sank with all of our equipment-and us-on it. But perhaps the most memorable adventure was the quest for our missing samples and the villagers in a small town in Argentina who came to our aid.
