...sunset-bh.com, in Onna-son in central Okinawa Island, is run by a young bohemian couple from mainland Japan. Slap-bang on a picture-postcard beach, it has just four stylish rooms. And the food is something else. Make sure you sample local delicacies such as squishy umi dubi (sea kelp), delectable crispy pork grilled BBQ-style in garlic sauce, and purple sweet potatoes, all served up on the ground-floor patio. Wash it all down with an Orian beer or awamori, a local high-octane version of sake, while you soak up the heart-stopping views...
...Some say Martin showed up in Lewis's most coherent film, The Nutty Professor, in 1963. A vamp on the Jekyll-Hyde story, it has Jer as ultra-nerd Julius Kelp, who sports goofy bangs (the following year they'd be cool, when the Beatles wore them), prominent teeth, and thick glasses - your basic Mo Rocca look. In love with adorable student Stella Stevens, Julius evolves chemically into Buddy Love, a stud crooner with hair glistening like a patent leather handbag. But this doppelganger was not the lush, uncaring satyr Dino (Martin played that role the following year in Billy...
...Wild Things Were, the seasoned wildlife writer reminds us that predation, not parity, is nature's organizing principle. Beyond his affection for fierce carnivores, he argues persuasively that keystone predators function as biological linchpins--without them, ecosystems plunge into chaos.

...tasty beer with 12 different algae. It's even creeping onto European dinner plates, says Patrick Plan. His Brittany-based company, Marinoë, markets a range of seaweed edibles, from red dulse, a sweet-tasting seaweed that grows on rocks, to wakame pasta, made from a mild-flavored kelp. Plan enthuses, "it's a food with a future." And you thought it was just slime...
...Using spa cuisine as a foundation, and with the help of a nutritionist and a Chinese herbalist, Gamon has been blending hashima (the glands of snow frogs) with white chocolate, combining curried chicken drumsticks with reishi mushrooms and kelp, dressing butter-braised abalone with ginseng, and adding bird's nest to ice cream. These are not the normal pairings of tonic cuisine, but they are based on the same principles and Eu Yan Sang's conservative herbalists have gradually given their approval. "Now they ask me, 'Does it taste good?'" says Gamon with a laugh...
