Read more: NASA captured a stunning enhanced-color photo of a 'blue' sand dune on Mars — and the photos are mind-blowingThough being able to capture an image of an avalanche of this proportion is rare and an incredibly serendipitous event to catch on camera, the thawing of the polar caps on Mars is a completely normal phenomenon at this time of year.
Visiting Jamaica, Mr. Huang follows every diagram in the Bourdain playbook: doses of history, slow-motion shots out of car windows, a serendipitous discovery ("I smelled something delicious"), suspiciously knowledgeable comments about local ingredients and cooking techniques, the unnecessary superlative ("one of the best-textured eggplants I've ever seen"), some macabre regionalism (a goat is separated from its head on camera), a cosmic closing voice-over.

Cott recounts how it took Sendak more than a hundred agonizing drafts to get the book right, and while Cott relies heavily on secondary sources here, he provides an illuminating window into the creative process — and the countless inspirations, influences, ideas and serendipitous encounters that fed into the creation of this work of art: In this case, Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute," the movie "The Wizard of Oz," a Grimm fairy tale, nativity paintings, old photographs of the Lindbergh baby and the Dionne quintuplets, and color schemes borrowed from William Blake and Eric Rohmer.
