Photos - Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio "Hungry planet"

Heya folks, today I'd like to share with you an amazing couple: Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio.

They have an impressive CV and have won a passel of awards and are all around interesting (check out their bios here). I first heard of them reading the Times that did a piece (three parts no less! Part1, Part 2, Part3) on their book called "Hungry planet: what the world eats". You might want to check the photo gallery that has series of pictures on themes like Food, travel, technology, water, death, and many others... They're totally worth it!
These are people that have something to say, I think that they're quite eloquent... I suspect you'll agree.

All of the following pictures are from part 1 of the Times photo album:

This an online version of George Mikes' very funny how to book, on being an alien in Great-Britain.

Ex. "On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners."
