Acerca de esta escucha
Imagine if you were to lose your sight? Would it feel like the end of everything worthwhile? There is a way forward. Once you realise that blindness is a word and not a sentence, life takes on a new perspective. There are ways to thrive with vision loss. This book reveals how to turn such a life-challenge into a lifestyle you can fully manage and enjoy.
Maribel Steel’s heart-warming story is part memoir, part guide. She demystifies what it means to be blind, and provides a unique set of "tools" to enable you to forge ahead with tenacity. By offering a realistic picture of the possible, Blindness for Beginners will help you to adjust emotionally, adapt in practical ways, and enhance your self-confidence. Her insights will give a clearer vision of the realities and possibilities - for visually impaired and sighted listeners alike. If you want to discover how to retain your love of cooking, how to manage daily visual tasks with less sight, how to travel independently, and, in short, how to accept and adapt to vision loss while retaining your sense of humour, this book is for you. For the sighted listener, there are also chapters that focus on how to assist a person who is visually impaired. Explore common questions and discover practical ways to live and work alongside a person with low vision.
About the Author: MARIBEL STEEL is an Australian author and award-winning public speaker. She is legally blind, a peer advisor for VisionAware, the mother of four children, a vocalist, and sensory cook who encourages people to look beyond limitations and create opportunities. Maribel has demonstrated "cooking in a tactile kitchen" on Sydney TV, ABC Radio National, and a Taste of the World YouTube. She is often interviewed on radio programs and podcasts worldwide. Maribel is a passionate blindness advocate, guide dog adventurer, and memoirist.

Historia
We meet Andrew Leland as he’s suspended in the liminal state of the soon-to-be blind: he’s midway through his life with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that ushers those who live with it from sightedness to blindness over years, even decades. He grew up with full vision, but starting in his teenage years, his sight began to degrade from the outside in. Soon— but without knowing exactly when—he will likely have no vision left. Full of apprehension but also dogged curiosity, Leland embarks on a sweeping exploration of the state of being that awaits him.

Historia
Mike Pence spent more hours in the Oval Office than any of his predecessors. On the surface, the affable evangelical Christian from a gas-station-owning family in Indiana wouldn’t seem to have much in common with a brash real estate mogul from New York. But the unlikely duo formed a tight bond. So Help Me God is the chronicle of the events and people who forged Mike Pence’s character. This is the inside story of the Trump administration by its second highest official—what he said to the president and how he was tested.
