...mastered that task more deftly than Jan Morris, 79, the England-born, thoroughly Welsh writer and historian. In more than 40 books and countless essays over the past half-century, she has marshaled reportorial insight and literary flair to describe nearly every interesting place on the planet. Unique among them is Hav, the microscopic, Levantine city-state she first put on the map 21 years ago with [an error occurred while processing this directive] Last Letters from Hav - and which she revisits in her latest, perhaps most insightful book yet, titled simply Hav. Located south of the Caucasus, north...

The science showing that carbon-dioxide emissions are already changing the planet's climate, and are likely to have severe effects (melting ice caps, sea-level rise, species extinction), is compelling and now barely disputed. Almost 90% of Europeans say they recognize climate change as a major issue, and 75% identify fossil-fuel emissions as a major cause. And yet, as was widely discussed...
Then again, Gore's new movie has something of a mutant-action-hero plotline of its own. It's the tale of a scorned, washed-up politician transformed into a laptop-wielding ninja whose PowerPoint could rescue the planet from the forces of greed and indifference. The slide-show warning about the risks of global warming that Gore, 58, has been giving to audiences for years has been turned into a 92-min. documentary called An Inconvenient Truth. The film opened in New York City and Los Angeles to better-than-decent reviews, expands to all the 10 biggest markets...
