  • Solar energy electrical generating power plant in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, California. Solar One consists of a circular arrangement of 1, 818 mirrors, each measuring 23x23 feet (7x7 meters). These mirrors focus the sunlight onto a huge central receiver, which sits atop a 300-foot (91 meter) tower. The mirrors are computer controlled to track the path of the sun. (the mirrors are NOT focusing the sunlight onto the tower in this photo: the receiver is not glowing hot as it would be if the sunlight were focused on it). Water is pumped through the receiver and heated to a temperature of 960 degrees Fahrenheit. The resultant steam runs a turbine, producing 10 megawatts of power for eight hours a day. (1982).

  • Solar energy: Solar Plant 1. Warner Springs, California. Solar Plant 1 was the largest privately funded solar powered electrical generator in the world when it was built in 1984. Built by LaJet Energy Company of Abilene, Texas, SolarPlant 1 is a five megawatt distributed receiver facility. There is no central tower to soak up sunlight reflected from a broad field of glass mirrors. Instead, each of the 700 concentrators--consisting of 24 plastic mirrors kept in shape by a vacuum pump- reflects sunlight into its own receiver. Water is pumped through the receiver, which turns to steam to drive a turbine to produce electricity. (1985).

  • Solar energy: .UEC (United Energy Corporation of Hawaii) Solar Facility in Borrego Springs, California uses both photovoltaic  and solar thermal systems. What makes their operation unique is that they use 3 acre round ponds to float their solar arrays on. The ponds act as a frictionless water bearing so that it requires very little energy to have the whole surface of the pond rotate to face the sun as it moves east to west. A series of small motors tilt the individual rows of the arrays to track the sun vertically as well. They use hot water from one type of array to run a huge still, which produces alcohol from molasses. So far there are 18 ponds. Borrego Springs, California (1990).

  • Solar energy: SEGS Solar Plant. Southern California Desert. Solar power. One of the three Luz International solar energy complexes in the Mojave Desert of California, USA. Together these sites, which cover 1000 acres, generate 275 megawatts of electricity, 90% of the world's total grid-connected solar energy production. This installation, located at Kramer Junction, has an array of 650,000 computer-controlled parabolic mirrors which track the sun across the sky, focusing it's light onto tubes containing a synthetic oil. The oil, which is thus super-heated to 391 degrees Centigrade, is used to boil water for steam turbine generators in one of five power plants. (1985).

Rosenthal is also the chief executive of a ministry devoted to 'reaching the Jewish people for the Messiah' called Zion's Hope. Beside the theme park architectural recreations, there are church services and live presentations of biblical stories, most notably a big stage production featuring the life of Jesus. There are several restaurants and gift shops in the theme park. The staff dresses in biblical costumes. Admission is $40 for adults and $25 for youths, aged 6-18.

  • Physics: Geneva, Switzerland/CERN: L-3 Experiment. Computer simulation of particle physics collision. CERN is the European centre for particle physics near Geneva. L3 is one of 4 giant particle detectors at the LEP Collider. LEP collides electrons & positrons accelerated to an energy of 50 GeV in a circular tunnel 100m underground & 27km in circumference. L3 is a cylindrical assembly of many types of apparatus - hadron & electromagnetic calorimeters, drift chambers, & a time projection chamber - which fit together like layers of an onion around the point where the particles collide. L3 is a collaboration of 460 physicists from institutions in 13 countries.

  • Physics: Geneva, Switzerland/CERN: L-3 Experiment. Russian scientist Yuri Kamishkou seen with the Hadron Calorimeter. CERN is the European centre for particle physics near Geneva. L3 is one of 4 giant particle detectors at the LEP Collider. The L-3 experiment is part of CERN's Large Electron- Positron Collider (LEP), inaugurated on 13 November 1989. LEP collides electrons & positrons accelerated to an energy of 50 GeV in a circular tunnel 100m underground & 27km in circumference. L3 is a cylindrical assembly of many types of apparatus - hadron & electromagnetic calorimeters, drift chambers, & a time projection chamber - which fit together like layers of an onion around the point where the particles collide.

  • Bread bakes inside circular ovens at Akbar Zareh's bakery in the city of Yazd, Iran. (Akbar Zareh is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The son of a baker, Zareh began working full-time at age 10 and regrets that he didn't attend school and learn how to read and write. By working 10 hours a day, every day of the week, he has sent his four children to school so they don't have to toil as hard as he does. The product of his daily labor is something to savor?his fresh, hot loaves are as mouthwatering and tasty as any in the world. After baking in the tandoor clay ovens (at left), most of the rounds of fresh bread are dried and broken into bits.
