  • Paul Jefferson, a blind amputee in army hospital in England was wounded by a land mine in Kuwait. Paul Jefferson, who had overseen the de-mining of the Falklands. He had also written a manual on defusing Russian land mines. But he stepped on one and lost a leg, his eyes, and parts of his hands. I visited him in a veterans' hospital for the blind in England a few months later and made a short video on his rehabilitation and recollections of the accident. In this photo he is being taught to type with a computer program that sounds out the letters as he types them.

  • Tao Xiuzeng, a worker at the Silk Factory #1 in the city of Suzhou, describes her favorite recipe for silkworms as she pulls the silkworm cocoons from boiling water, threads the fine  silk filament onto a reel, and then tosses away the rest of the pupae when the 1000 yards or more of silk is wound off each one. Occasionally she brings silk worm pupae home to eat, first drying them in the oven, then stir-frying them with ginger, onion, rice wine, and garlic, Suzhou, China. Her daughter is afraid of them, she says. (Man Eating Bugs page 90 Bottom)

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Every week, the Revis family (Rosemary on treadmill talking with Ron) faithfully trekked to the health club in the Wakefield Medical Center, a hospital complex in Raleigh, North Carolina, for two-hour exercise sessions. They enjoyed the workouts, but found them so time-consuming that they wound up eating more fast food than ever. Fearing its potential impact on their health, they ultimately gave up the club in favor of dining and exercising at home. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • In the water, pike can accelerate at a rate of eight to twelve g's, as fast as a NASA rocket. To scientists, the speed is inexplicable. In an attempt to understand how the flap of a thin fish tail can push a fish faster than any propeller, John Kumph, then an MIT graduate student, built a robotic version of a chain-pickerel?a species of pike?with a spring-wound fiberglass exoskeleton and a skin made of silicone rubber. Now under further development by iRobot, an MIT-linked company just outside Boston in Somerville, MA, the robo-fish can't yet swim nearly as fast as a real pike, suggesting how much remains to be learned. Photographed at the MIT tow tank, Cambridge, MA. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 108-109.
