  • Neil Jones, the Director of Operations at the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, with one day's worth of his typical food in the skypod of the tower. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food on a typical day in June was 2600 kcals. He is 44 years of age; 6 feet, 2 inches tall and 220 pounds.  The viewing platform is above the world's highest revolving restaurant, which revolves 360 degrees. The award-winning restaurant has awe-inspiring views and, for a tourist destination, surprisingly excellent food. The pricey entrance and elevator fee of about $25 per person is waived if you eat at the restaurant, making it cheaper to have lunch than to just see the sights. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Faith D'Aluisio, one of the authors of the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets, weighs the food items consumed by Saleh Abdul Fadlallah at Birqash Camel Market, outside Cairo, Egypt. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  Contrary to popular belief, camels’ humps don’t store water; they are a reservoir of fatty tissue that minimizes heat-trapping insulation in the rest of their bodies; the dromedary, or Arabian camel, has a single hump, while Asian camels have two. Camels are well suited for desert climes: their long legs and huge, two-toed feet with leathery pads enable them to walk easily in sand, and their eyelids, nostrils, and thick coat protect them from heat and blowing sand. These characteristics, along with their ability to eat thorny vegetation and derive sufficient moisture from tough green herbage, allow camels to survive in very inhospitable terrain.

  • Above ground view of underground storage of radioactive wastes for the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP), 700 meters below ground. WIPP is a research project to determine the suitability of the local salt rocks as a storage site for highly- radioactive transuranic waste from nuclear power stations. Such waste materials may have radioactive half-lives of thousands of years, and so must be isolated in a geologically stable environment. On the left is an experiment testing the design of containers carrying vitrified waste. The mine is located near Carlsbad, New Mexico, USA. (1998)

  • Scripps Medical Center: Brain magnetic response: MEG Squid: Superconducting Quantum interference Device. Computer Screen shows the brain of a woman undergoing a brain scan with a neuromagnetometer, to measure normal brain function. The non-invasive scanner is positioned above her head while she views an object. This scan technique is called magneto encephalography (MEG). The neuromagnetometer measures magnetic fields generated from nerve cell activity within the brain. The scanner contains sensitive magnetic field detectors known as SQUIDS (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices). MEG enables high- speed nerve cell activity to be detected, to show the brain working in rapid "real" time. It assists researchers to understand the normal brain. (1990)
