Happy late Canada Day, happy U.S. Independence Day!
It's a scorching hot July out there, so we've got one story to cool you off and two that tie into the heat.
Garrett Fisher has a series of books out with stunning photos taken from the cockpit of his vintage prop plane built half a century ago. In "Yellowstone by Air in the Freezing Winter" he's flying over the USA's
oldest national park when there are almost no tourists venturing beyond the roads. The plane has no heat and if the engine fails here, there’s nobody anywhere close to call.
Zora O’Neill has a new book out called
All Strangers Are Kin: Adventures in Arabic and the Arab World. This month she contributes a story about ditching the photogenic scenes of exotic Marrakesh,
Morocco to commune with local women in the great leveler: a simple local bath house.
We keep setting temperature records around the world from man-made climate change and it's not just on land where things are getting ugly. Michael Buckley visits several different points on the the world's largest coral reef system off
Australia and finds this great underwater eco-system is in big trouble from multiple threats.
Also, Graham Reid checks out some worthwhile new
world music albums and William Caverlee reviews three notable
new travel books.
