  • On the very last day of British rule over its Hong Kong colony, we see two groups representing this colonial territory's population. Commuters walk through Chater Garden about to pass another group of older exercise class. Towering above them all is the Bank of China skyscraper, then the tallest building in Asia, As the last hours tick away before the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. Midnight of that day signified the end of British rule and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Almost 7 million people call a territory of 1100 sq km home, squeezing onto only 10% of the available land space. This is a metropolis of high population density and one of the world's economic powerhouses.

  • Powerful water wheel at New Lanark, the industrial revolution community village managed by social pioneer Robert Owen. New Lanark is on the River Clyde, approximately 1.4 miles (2.2 kilometres) from Lanark, in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills  and housing for the mill workers. Dale built the mills there to take advantage of the water power provided by the river. Under the ownership of a partnership that included Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, a Welsh philanthropist and social reformer, New Lanark became a successful business and an epitome of utopian socialism. The New Lanark mills operated until 1968 and is now one of five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scotland.

  • Striking a light in an outdoor café, a young businessman puts a match to his cigarette as a colleague talks in Frankfurt.  Cupping his hand over the lit end, against a shrill wind, the man inhales the nicotine-rich smoke to enjoy another cigarette. On the table in front, an empty glass of German Pilsener, its froth still clinging to the sides of the glass showing that this otherwise healthy gentleman is abusing his body with the addictive tobacco and the thirst-quenching taste of fine beer that has a high percentage of alcohol and rich in carbohydrates. He is smartly dresses, with cufflinks, a good watch and neat hair. In the background are other drinkers and their glasses on tables at this sociable street corner in the city’s financial district, a symbolic powerhouse of economic recovery that Germany built in the post-war era.
