There are plenty of serene spaces in the northern reaches of Michigan's lower peninsula: lakeside beaches, towering dunes, fragrant pine forests, golf courses and some of the best bicycling trails in the U.S. Lovers of Victorian architecture revel in the quaint charms of the small towns, and in one of these, Petoskey, visitors can find the Serenity Bed-and-Breakfast...
...parkland of the Blue Mountains, named for the eucalyptus oils that evaporate from the gum trees and tint the air, is a 10,000-sq.-km wilderness of heavily wooded gullies and forbidding cliffs, home to well over a thousand species of plants. Only six years ago the Wollemi pine was added to the list. These prehistoric trees, previously unknown, were found in one of the region's remote canyons, where they were thought to have grown undisturbed for five million years. To the city's north, the Ku-ring-gai Chase, Marramarra and Brisbane Water national parks preserve...
Galen Hamilton, a tall, fourth-generation logger, contemplates the timbered mountains (ponderosa pine, Douglas fir) where he grew up around Horseshoe Bend, Idaho. He points to vast, unregenerated bald patches burned off in earlier fires he blames on Forest Service fecklessness, and speaks bitterly about Washington's clueless authoritarianism (so he thinks of it) in shutting down logging operations--in letting the forest become a rank, dangerous tinderbox. The sticker on his pickup reads: ARE YOU AN ENVIRONMENTALIST? OR DO YOU WORK FOR A LIVING...
...Song, he also covers something less glorious: the persistence of performance-enhancing drug use among athletes.

The staff of TIME Australia, our South Pacific edition, is already in full Olympic mode. With these Games, Wulf, our sports sage, can add a new chapter to her college thesis, which studied TIME coverage of the Olympics since World...
...miles above Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, the country changed so abruptly I might have drifted off at the wheel and awakened on a different continent. I was in steep, sharp geography, beside the tumbly Payette River, rising into mountains thick with ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. The air should have been pristine and crystal-cool in that setting; it remained as ominously hot and dry as desert...
