    I want a free copy of Rebecca’s dissertation, to see if she quotes me. I’d also like her email address. I don’t like the way these documents are available via commercial intermediaries. It should be just a click away. Open access please! (Excuse me if I missed the dummies’ way of painlessly accessing the thesis). Dr Brian Cooksey Dar es Salaam
