In the middle of this chain is the Harbel hevea tree (rubber tree) plantation, owned since 1926 by […]
The Greenpeace Weblog has a photo and text exposé of these so called zombie ships and the seemingly futile quest for prosperity. A disturbing account that offers important lessons for ignorant consumers who know little about the fish they pick up on their “painstaking” trips to the local supermarket.
We’re in the big African Queen inflatable, […]
Foreign Policy has a small photo essay of hulking ships moored in Bangladesh for the 200,000 strong shipbreaking industry to dismantle. Eerie.

Now there’s a term you don’t hear very often. Big thanks to Henrik for pointing me in the direction of Unrealized Moscow (The Architecture of Moscow from the 1930s to the early 1950s Unrealised projects). Including masterpieces like the People’s Commissariat of Heavy Industry and the Palace of Soviets.
