Dhakin, Bangladesh

Bare-handed men and boys prepare

to drag a hawser in the ship-breaking yard.

Huge tankers are driven at full throttle

and high tide on to the beach

where they are broken up mostly by hand

with scant regard for health and safety.

It was not Berry’s intention to make a political book,

nor an authoritative catalogue of man’s interactions with water

– but to share the most memorable stories from his assignments

that illustrate how water shapes our lives and what the future may hold

Monsoons, drought … and adventure: our world of water

– in pictures

‘There is too much water in some places, too little in others,’

says Ian Berry, who has spent years documenting the links

between landscape, life and water

Industry's Victims in Bangladesh USA August 16, 2013

International attention

has been focused

on workers' safety in Bangladesh

since the disaster at Rana Plaza,

a garment factory complex

which collapsed in April,

killing 1,132 workers.

As concern runs high

about the safety of garment workers,

Reuters photographer Andrew Biraj

spent time photographing survivors

of the Rana Plaza collapse

and also documenting the lives of workers

in other industries in Bangladesh,

where conditions can be hazardous.

If It Were My Home

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

But you may have one very basic question

that you can't easily find an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
