There is no central tower to soak up sunlight reflected from a broad field of glass mirrors.

Water is pumped through the receiver, which turns to steam to drive a turbine to produce electricity. (1988).

  • Shahnaz Hossain Begum milks one of her cows at her home in Bari Majlish village outside Dhaka, Bangladesh. (Shahnaz Hossain Begum is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  The caloric value of her day's worth of food on a typical day in December was 2000 kcals. She is 38; 5' 2" and 130 pounds.  She got her first micro loan several years ago, from BRAC, Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee, to buy cows to produce milk for sale. This mother of four was able to earn enough to build several rental rooms next to her home in her village of Bari Majlish, an hour outside Dhaka. She and her tenants share a companionable outdoor cooking space and all largely cook traditional Bangladeshi foods such as dahl, ruti (also spelled roti), and vegetable curries. She and her family don't drink the milk that helps provide their income. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Villagers inspect the carcass of a cow they slaughtered after it swallowed more than 10 kilograms of plastic bags and became critically bloated in a village near Narouk, Kenya.  This discovery came at the cost of two cattle in a culture that values livestock highly. In the dry, near desert conditions of drought stricken Kenya, discarded plastic bags are eaten by cows while grazing. Here the dead calf is removed from the birth sack. Maasai wealth is derived from the cattle owned, the land, and the number of children born to support the family busines, which is cattle and goats.

  • During chilly mornings and evenings in northern Namibia's rainy season, the women of Okapembambu village draw steaming buckets of milk from their cows, despite the distraction of ankle-deep mud and manure. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Milk and its by-products are the Himba's most important source of nutrition. The women add a bit of soured milk to the fresh liquid to hasten the process of natural fermentation, and they shake calabash gourds for hours to make butter. They drink some of the soured milk, use some to make their cornmeal porridge, and mix butterfat with ochre to make their body cream.

  • Life in the city is tough but slowly improving. Indeed, the free-range cows dumpster-diving in this parking lot are a perverse sign of affluence; Mongolians now have enough food to throw some away. Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

  • Like most food markets in India, Ujjain's central market is a maelstrom of shoppers elbowing their way around hundreds of vendors sitting on tarpaulins with piles of produce. Cows, revered by Hindus, wander with them, though salespeople and shoppers alike push them out of the way if they get too inquisitive. The Patkar family of Ujjain, India, habituated to the tumult, move with the crowd, calmly picking out what they need. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 171). The Patkar family of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India, is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks' worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.

  • A slaughtered cow rolls on a cart through the dusty mud-brick village of Kouakourou, Mali, destined for sale that day at the nearby Saturday market. Because the town has no electricity, and thus no refrigeration, this family will sell all their meat by sunset of the same day that the cow was slaughtered.
