Planning a green vacation often proves difficult, even for those who live most conscientiously during the other 51 weeks of the year. Code Green: Experiences of a Lifetime outlines some 80 ecologically, socially, and economically responsible trips around the world, from historic Route 66 to India's Pench Tiger Reserve. The full-page photos are worth the $19.99 price tag, and the text complements them with useful, if scant, information about when and how to go to each site and why such a journey qualifies as responsible travel. Page-long guides like 'Begging: To Give or Not to Give?' and 'How to Tell if your Holiday is Green or Just Greenwash' round out the package.? Out from Lonely Planet since May. -- Rachel Jenkins

Artella comes in a plastic bag, and opening it reveals why: Full envelopes and paper goods fall from the magazine's pages. The envelopes contain, in issue #9, generous samples of Nepalese paper. Nearly every page has some image that's made to be cut out or unstuck for reuse in artwork, and the publisher's note begs, 'Don?t let this Artella issue stay intact!' The magazine itself holds poetry, prose, art, and profiles of contributors. The profusion of interactive, moveable parts almost obscures the content, proving that Artella is by and for excited collage and mixed-media artists who want to have fun. -- Rachel Jenkins
