exemplary texts:
 * 1) It really is amazing how many ways the bible is read (i.e. rastafarians using it as their holy text). I've been thinking lately about how this kind of "open-endedness," though, isn't necessarily, inherently positive, and the responsibility of the author to anticipate unintended ways in which her or his book might be read.
 * 2) Affecting people emotionally can be very powerful and help your insights stick with their memories too. I would just be wary of the problematics around the "dead baby" cover, or media "sensationaliazation," or "disaster tourism."

chapter summaries:
 * 1) "...look at how neoliberal ideologies are shaping intellectual property discourse for preventable blindness."
 * 2) There was a talk at IASTS on possible amendments to the Bayh-Dole Act that would help break up monopolistic ownership rights, which could, for example, reduce the price of AIDS drugs.
 * 3) introduction: in addition to "defining" these terms (great list!) it might be good to talk a bit about how they've changed over time.
 * 4) i think the way you work the scales works really well
 * 5) maybe in the conclusion you could also do some "visioning" (pun intended) and discuss possible futures?

book cover: love it! really intriguing.

positioning:
 * 1) i like the way you're thinking in terms of worlds that you want to reach
 * 2) just because it's absent, i'm interersted in what you think about medical anthropology
