"The magnificent jet propels air safety to new heights, yet accidents still occur. Records show that takeoff and landing remain the critical phases of flight. One long-range solution is increased automation. A Lockheed TriStar touches down hands off at Palmdale, California; a time exposure by a remotely operated camera attached to the aircrafts vertical tail fin blurs city and runway lights." —From "The Air-Safety Challenge," August 1977, National Geographic magazine Photograph by Bruce Dale 意译：一个宏伟的喷射推进器使航空安全有了新的高度，过去意外事故依旧发生。档案显示在起飞和着陆还是停留在批评或评论上。一个远程的解决方案是加强自动控制。解决的钥匙是对于飞行器由人的手控操作，转变为遥远的操作照相机附上在航行器的顶点尾部，定时曝光来跟踪飞行过程和起飞降落跑到的全过程。

Androscoggin River, New Hampshire, 1981Photograph by Sandy Felsenthal Steam and sulfides billow from the James River Corporation pulp and paper mill on the Androscoggin River in Berlin, New Hampshire. The plant opened in 1853 as a sawmill and quickly grew into one of the foremost chemical pulp mills in the world. Malodorous pollution from the now closed facility inspired the local adage, "Want to find Berlin? Just follow your nose." 意译：得到灵感的人说一句格言：“想去寻找柏林？那就跟著你的鼻子”。有恶嗅的、污染的造纸企业现在关闭了造纸厂。过去在柏林的（Androscoggin）河、新汉普郡（英国南部）都存在水蒸气和硫化氢在到处制造污染，原因是来自詹姆士河的造纸企业的压榨机在把废纸、废植物等化成纸浆，从而污染河流河大气，这种车间自1853年开始，并且很快的成为世界的最大的化工厂。

Tundra Frost Patterns, Canada, 1985 Photograph by George F. Mobley Frost-flecked tundra pools dot the landscape of Canadas North Yukon National Park.

Cheetah Survey, Botswana, 1999 A cheetah surveys the savanna from atop a termite mound in Botswanas Okavango Delta. As recently as 1900, cheetahs thrived throughout Africa and Asia, as far east as Myanmar (Burma). But a host of perils, including predation by lions and the encroachment of farms on their territory, has hurt their numbers and their range. Today, only about 12,000 cheetahs remain in some 30 African countries.
