1) It might be good to include a photo from Asia on the cover (we currently have two from Africa and three from Latin America there). We could replace the one of the hand covered in oil with the Baram dam protest one (i.e. swap them between the front and back).
2) The spine looks very narrow relative to the cover size, given that the book is 260 pages. I think something with the full title on it (see attached .ppt) would probably look better on the book once it is printed.
