  • On Green Island, a former prison island off the coast of SE Taiwan where political prisoners were incarcerated and re-educated during the unnervingly recent White Terror. There's actually still a high-security prison on the island, but it only holds 200 inmates (actual felons, not polital prisoners), as opposed to the couple thousand of earlier decades..Now it's mostly a tourist destination. We visited in the off season in March, thereby avoiding the 5,000-10,000 tourists that inundate the little place daily, though, being the off season, we had to contend instead with intermittent cold rain and high winds.

  • Seal hunter Emil Madsen shouts commands to his dogs as they try to get over a crack in the ice near Cap Hope Village in Greenland.  (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Getting over these cracks can be very dangerous as there is always the very serious worry of falling in. In the spring this can be dangerous because the ice is breaking up and sometimes huge pieces break off and move out to sea. When the snow crust is hard enough to ensure that the dogs won't break through, they can pull the half-ton weight of the sled for hours on end. On level ground, the animals pull at about the pace of a running human, but the sleds can whip down hills so fast that drivers must step on the brake at the rear of the sled to avoid running over their dogs.

He is one of the largest of the Japanese sumos and would probably have moved up even further in the ranks had he not suffered a severe shoulder injury. He is only just now returning to matches.

  • Child workers take a break at the JRB brick factory near Sonargaon, outside Dhaka, Bangladesh. Unlike the garment industry, where child labor restrictions are more closely monitored, rural agriculture and industry are less regulated and there is little if any oversight or enforcement. When queried, some laborers at a nearby site defended the use of child workers, saying poor families need their children to be breadwinners now if they are to have any kind of future. The heavy clay soils along the river near the market town of Sonargaon are well suited for making bricks. At the JRB brick factory, workers of all ages move raw bricks from long, stacked rows, where they first dry in the sun, to the smoky coal-fired kilns.

  • Anita Flynn with vintage robot prototype "Gnat" at the M.I.T. Insect Robot Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Flynn was an Insect Lab scientist who liked to dream up possible jobs for tiny, cheap, throwaway robots.  She suggested that a gnat could crawl along an underground electrical cable until it finds a break, bridge the gap, and stay there as a permanent repair. Robo sapiens Project.

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Emil Madsen stops to look for prey (seals, polar bears, musk ox, and geese) while the dogs take the moment to rest. Here he is looking for seals near the ice edge (a giant iceberg is in the open water in the background) The family has been traveling by dogsled for a good portion of the day. When the snow crust is hard enough to ensure that the dogs won't break through, they can pull the half-ton weight of the sled for hours on end. On level ground, the animals pull at about the pace of a running human, but the sleds can whip down hills so fast that drivers must step on the brake at the rear of the sled to avoid running over their dogs.
