FEATURES
The Serengeti

  • A Photographic Portfolio
  • The Glory of Life – The Endless drama of Africa’s great animal preserve is captured by photographer Mitsuaki Iwago. Author Shana Alexander attunes herself to the area’s timeless rhythms of predator and prey, and finds poachers upsetting a one balanced ecosystem.
  • Rising, Shining Tennessee – New industry and a fresh appreciation of down-home values lift the Volunteer State toward a brighter time, Priit Vesilind and photographer Karen Kasmauski report.
  • When the Earth Moves – Shifting crustal plates trigger cataclysms that take more then 32,000 lives in Mexico and Columbia, raising questions about man’s ability to forecast natural catastrophe.
  • Eruption in Colombia – Volcanic heat melts glacial ice, releasing a mudflow that engulfs the town of Armero. Bart McDowell and photographer Steve Raymer survey the disaster scene.
  • Earthquake in Mexico – A continent-wrenching jolt registering 8.1 on the Richter scale kills more than 9,000. By Allen A Boraiko, with photographs by James L Stanfield and Guillermo Aldana E.
  • Newfoundland: The Enduring Rock – Wedded to the sea, Canada’s least developed province pins its hopes—and fears—on off shore oil, Harry Thurston relates. Photographs by Yva Momatiuk and John Eastcott
