World Discoveries III: Dead Sea is a 1999 documentary that takes an indepth look at the Dead Sea, which is a lake on the border between Israel and Jordan. At 8.6 times saltier than the ocean, the Dead Sea is so salty fish can't swim in it, boats can't sail on it, and animals can't survive around it. The film explores the ominous reputation the salty body of water has acquired and shows slow wide-screen nature shots of its surroundings.

“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“It was a soft medicine
that came from the sea into my mouth,
moist and plump.
I swallowed.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
