...here, but you will find artists and creative types aplenty, drawn by the frequent presence of celebrity owner Xaviera Hollander, author of the best-selling 1971 memoir The Happy Hooker. The former New York City-based sex columnist trades in matters of the soul these days rather than the flesh, organizing house parties and bringing home arty waifs in the manner of an old-style salonière. Her grand old house in Amsterdam's southern suburbs has only two guest rooms, so book well in advance. If the mistress of the house is around, be prepared for anecdotes that...

Extracting the fossils of such creatures is harder than finding them. These palaeontologists aren't eggheads: they spend seven hours each day under a scorching sun levering boulders and smashing them open with sledgehammers. On the first...
