  • After the death of a 72-year old man who lived across the road from the Khuenkaew family of the Material World Project, his family followed Thai tradition and bought a castle-like, wood-and-crepe paper funeral bier and placed the body on top. Then the village held a two-day wake, complete with tents, music, gambling, and outdoor barbecues. Gifts were piled atop the casket. Afterward, the men carried the bier on long bamboo poles to the cemetery. The family posed for photographs in front of the bier, said good-bye to the dead man, and left the cemetary-keeper to burn the remains. Published in Material World: A Global Family Portrait. pages 86 & 87. Thailand.

  • The Breidjing Refugee Camp, Eastern Chad on the Sudanese border shelters 30,000 people who have fled their homes in Darfur, Sudan. Water is a constant preoccupation in the Breidjing Refugee Camp. Every day, lines of women and children carry jugs and pots of drinking and cooking water from distribution points to their tents. To get extra water to wash clothes, families dig pits- in nearby wadis (seasonal river beds), creating shallow pools from which they scoop out water. In November, the camp wadi had water three feet below the surface. As the dry season advances, the sand pits get deeper and deeper..(Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)..

  • Smoke from cookfires wafts up into the sky at dawn in Breidjing Refugee Camp in eastern Chad. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The sunrise ushers in another day of waiting. It's November, two months after the rainy season, but  temperatures are still low. Women sweep the dirt in front of their tents while children walk to the water depot with empty plastic containers as roosters crow and donkeys bray into the desert air, which is beginning to lose its nighttime chill.

  • Curtis Newcomer (left),  a soldier at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California, receives breakfast at the mess tent. (Curtis Newcomer is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  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. 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.

  • In late September, a family assembles a ger (round tent built from canvas, strong poles, and wool felt) in a squatter settlement on the hillsides of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. They have been herding animals in the countryside for the summer and are now moving back into the city for the winter. Despite the popular image of Mongolians as nomadic herders, it is an increasingly urbanized country. More than one quarter of Mongolians live in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar. Material World Project.
