Smokey Bear would love the Jetboil Personal Cooking System, which cuts the risk of forest fires by allowing campers to prepare soup, pasta, rice and beans--any single-pot dish--quickly and safely. How? The flame is contained within the Jetboil's patented Flux Ring, which channels the heat from a butane burner directly into the vessel. (Fuel canisters sold separately.) Bonus: a neoprene cover insulates the food while protecting campers' fingers from the heat...
...getting a human into space is the easy part; it's getting them back that causes the real trouble. The friction of the atmosphere, combined with Earth's gravitational pull, creates an intense and deadly heat. The space shuttle solved this problem with millions of dollars' worth of tiles on its underbelly (although, as a shocked world saw last year, that system is not foolproof...
...Devil's Wilderness, Dismal Dingle (a valley "like a coal-pit"), Dark Valley - hint at his impressions. When his men spotted two crows, they joked that the birds must be lost, "or else they would never stop in such a place as this."

But the avid botanist noticed the strange and beautiful flora he was passing and collected several new and rare...

As unlikely as it seems, this is the engine room of one of the world's most extraordinary art movements.

They brought with them to Kintore, 500 km west of Alice Springs, a lifetime of dreamings, but also something new: Papunya Tula Artists...
Unlike his forebears, Ames has barely left the town of Gilead, feeling that to do so would be to abandon the hope that has gone into its creation as a bulwark against slavery. "There must have been a hundred little towns like it," writes Robinson, "set up in the heat of an old urgency that is all forgotten now, and their littleness and their shabbiness, which was the measure of the courage and passion that went into the making of them, now just look awkward and provincial and ridiculous...
