1. Do pictures add content or information that
could not be added with text alone?

2. Some biologists might argue that pictures
simplify concepts. Why should this be so? If new
content, new associations, or new conceptual ties
are made as a result of the images used, then it
would seem that a lot more than simplification is
going on.

3. Is the relation between illustration and
metaphor one of identity?

4. What are the risks, if any, of identifying
images with what they represent?

That's all the questions I have for now. I'll
finish by saying that this is a beautiful and
thought-provoking work and I'm glad to have the
opportunity to discuss it!
