Understanding Blindness

As you might suspect, there is an enormous amount for the lay person, especially one who is not blind or visually impaired, to learn and understand about blindness.  Mark Hollins' new book "Understanding Blindness" provides insightful answers to questions many of us have, such as:

1. Do congenitally blind people have mental images?
2. How are they sometimes able to detect an object without touching it?
3. Is the visual part of a brain doing anything in a blind person?

This book delves into such questions, plus examines how blindness affects the eye, brain, perception, cognition, attitudes, emotions, and more.
