  • A busy day at the Ananta apparel factory where Ruma Akhter works as a seamstress.  (Ruma Akhter is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The factory is located on Elephant Road, downtown Dhaka, Bangladesh.  While nearly half of Bangladesh's population is employed in agriculture, in recent years the economic engine of Bangladesh has been its garment industry, and the country is now the world's fourth largest clothing exporter, ahead of India and the United States. Dependent on exports and fearing international sanctions, Bangladesh's garment industry has implemented rules outlawing child labor and setting standards for humane working conditions.

  • Noolkisaruni Tarakuai, the third of four wives of a Maasai chief with her day's worth of food outside her house in a Maasai village compound near Narok, Kenya. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of her typical day's worth of food on a day in the month of January was 800 kcals. She is 38 years of  age: 5 feet, 5 inches tall; and 103 pounds. Noolkisaruni has her own house for sleeping and a windowless cooking house with earth and dung chinked into the walls. Maasai wealth is derived from the cattle owned, the land, and the number of children born to support the family business: cattle and goats. She is photographed here with her day's worth of food: largely maize meal and milk. The fallen tree on which her food rests was knocked down by a marauding wild elephant. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Mammoth skeleton. Side view of the largest mounted Mammuthus columbi skeleton in the world. It is housed at the University of Nebraska State Museum, USA. At upper left are giant up-curved tusks. This specimen is 4 meters in height. Mammuthus columbi (Columbian mammoth) was a giant elephant-like mammal, which roamed temperate parts of North America more than 10,000 years ago, when it became extinct. This species was an important later relative of the woolly mammoth of Europe and Siberia. These well-preserved bones of Mammuthus columbi were discovered in Lincoln County, Nebraska, in 1922, a site famous for its fossils. The skeleton was assembled in 1933. 1992.

  • Fossil mammoth site. View of the largest collection of Columbian mammoth fossils (Mammuthus columbi) in the Western Hemisphere. Visitors receive a commentary while looking at excavated bones at the Hot Springs Mammoth Site in South Dakota, USA. Here, the fossilized skeletons of at least 43 mammoths lie, buried for 26,000 years. It is thought these animals became trapped in a large sinkhole when they came to drink water. Mammuthus columbi was a giant elephant-like mammal, some 4 meters in height, which roamed temperate parts of North America. It was an important later relative of the woolly mammoth of Europe and Siberia. This fossil site was discovered in 1974. 1992.
