Lonely outcrops of coral and lava far west of the main islands shelter seals, turtles, and millions of birds. John L. Eliot and Jonathan Blair explore a little- known ocean realm. With four camels and a dog named Diggity, young Robyn Davidson ventures 1, 700 miles across Australia’s western wilderness. Four centuries of bulb culture have made those early spring flowers an economic mainstay of the Netherlands, where their beauty once nearly led to financial ruin. An upbeat theme resounds in unexpected aspects of Music City, U. S. A. Michael Kernan and Jodi Cobb capture the harmony. A bonanza of newfound oil lifts hopes of a culturally rich but land- poor nation plagued by unemployment. Mike Edwards and Thomas Nebbia assess its prospects today. From papier- mache devils to painted saints, vibrant creations of self- taught craftsmen preserve centuries- old artistry. 20120209. Outback by camel. Challange Mexico. Folk Art Mexico.
