...preserve the cultural history of the area, and Native American tribes with ties to the land, are certainly real to those concerned. However, Nantucket itself has arguably already felt the effects of climate change. The historic Sankaty Head Lighthouse was moved in October, 2007 due to bluff erosion. Beach erosion has threatened the habitat of piping plovers, as well as the houses of residents. By reducing Massachusetts greenhouse gas emissions, Cape Wind would contribute to a global effort toward sustainablilty—a move that could eventually help reduce the rise in sea levels that contribute to erosion.

That prairie populism never left her, even as Tharp, a couple of decades later, became a darling of the avant-garde dance world. She shocked traditionalists with Deuce Coupe, her 1973 dance piece that wedded classical-ballet moves to Beach Boys songs. She worked with Mikhail Baryshnikov and David Byrne (and had romantic flings with both), shuttled between the American Ballet Theatre and Hollywood and then, in 2002, rocked Broadway with Movin' Out, her dance musical set to Billy Joel's greatest hits.

...most foreigners, however, Aceh's main attraction is its stunning natural heritage, starting with beaches like Lampuuk. Just outside Banda Aceh, it has a bay with golden sand and crystal waters.

A bigger problem, admits one tourism official, is the cannabis that grows in abundance in Aceh's hills and unerringly finds its way to beaches where foreign surfers congregate...
...savanna-like grassland and fields where wild black-and-white sheep graze. In Antiguan, jumby means "playful spirit" and the resort's extracurricular activities cover the gamut, from snorkeling excursions to nearby Bird Island to champagne stargazing (you can spot the elusive Andromeda galaxy) and nighttime treks along Pasture Beach where the hawksbill sea turtle nests. The concierge can even arrange mock regattas, pitting groups of friends or families against each other in a spirited four-hour race. (See pictures of luxury private islands...
