  • Tiffany Whitehead, a student and part-time ride supervisor at the Mall of America amusement park, with her typical day's worth of food in Bloomington, Minnesota. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of her day's worth of food on a day in June was 1900 kcals. She is 21 years old; 5 feet, 7 inches tall; and 130 pounds. The Mall of America is the largest among some 50,000 shopping malls in the United States. In addition to a huge amusement park, it houses over 500 stores, 26 fast-food outlets, 37 specialty food stores, and 19 sit-down restaurants, and employs more than 11,000 year-round employees. In excess of 40 million people visit the mall annually, and more than half a billion have visited since it opened in 1992. Tiffany's job involves a lot of walking. Her main beat is the amusement park area, where she responds to radio calls regarding stalled rides and lost children and answers visitors' questions. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Interior view of the Air Traffic Control Tower at San Francisco International Airport. The green radar displays show aircraft flying within 50 nautical miles of the airport, captured by the Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR). Controllers here deal only with aircraft within San Francisco's Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA): aircraft flying over the area and those up to 250 nautical miles away are dealt with by regional controllers elsewhere in the tower.

  • Inside the control room of a 25-meter diameter dish which makes up the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope near Socorro, New Mexico. The VLA is the world's largest radio telescope array, consisting of 27 dish antennae, each one 25 meters in diameter. The dishes can be moved to various positions along the arms of a Y-shaped railway network; two of these railway arms are 21 km in length, the third 19 km. The data obtained by the dishes are combined by computer to form a single radio image, so that the 27 antennae in effect form one single giant radio dish. (1984). Radio Telescope.

  • Bob Sorensen, an assistant golf course superintendent of The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa in Grand Junction, Colorado conducts maintenance work on the golf course.  (Bob Sorensen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) He played football at Mesa State College in Grand Junction and graduated with a degree in criminal justice. Just before he took a job in his chosen profession he decided that he didn't want a desk job and found one that requires his constant attendance of the great outdoors, at a golf course at the foot of the majestic Colorado National Monument. Some of his work is physical, but technology makes his irrigation chores easier. From one of many rock outcrops overlooking the lush fairways and greens in the dry, high desert valley, he can control a matrix of sprinklers with a single radio controller.  He earned a second degree in turf management, supervises a small crew of greenskeepers, and coaches high school football at Palisade High School.

It was originally built as a 64-meter-diameter (210-foot) antenna and received its first signal from the Mariner 4 mission to Mars. By 1988, the Mars dish, along with the 64-meter antennas in Spain and Australia, was upgraded to 70 meters (230 feet). These 70-meter antennas increase the receiving power of the Deep Space Network.

  • Bob Sorensen, a golf course assistant superintendent, picks vegetables in his backyard garden at his home in Grand Junction, Colorado. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food on a day in the month of September was 3,600 kcals. He is 25 years of age; 5 feet,  11 inches tall and 175 pounds. Switching career paths from criminal justice to turf maintenance enabled Bob to escape a desk job and work outdoors in a picturesque Western landscape.

He is 20 years old; 6 feet, 5 inches tall; and 195 pounds. During a two-week stint before his second deployment to Iraq, he spends 12-hour shifts manning the radio communication tent (behind him). He eats his morning and evening meals in a mess hall tent, but his lunch consists of a variety of instant meals in the form of MREs (Meals, Ready-to-Eat). His least favorite is the cheese and veggie omelet. ?Everybody hates that one. It's horrible,? he says. A mile behind him, toward the base of the mountains, is Medina Wasl, a fabricated Iraqi village?one of 13 built for training exercises, with hidden video cameras and microphones linked to the base control center for performance reviews.
