Blindness Research Hardback
Edited by Maxwell H. Goldberg, John R. Swinton
Hardback
Description
This comprehensive and practical volume describes new and potentially rewarding research in blindness and in the host of problems associated with it.
It also delineates unexplored areas and concepts for researchers themselves, foundations and organizations, administrators, students, and laymen.Blindness Research: The Expanding Frontiers presents a permanent record of the recent national conference on the urgent needs for the next decade of the blind population as well as the needs and tools, present and future, of those who work with the blind.Sponsored by governmental, institutional, and educational organizations, two features made this conference unique: its pooling of top scholarly resources from the liberal arts and sciences, and the direct confrontation and exchange it produced between experts concerned specifically with blindness and informed scholars engaged in academic research.
This volume thus contains the important record of a research consultation with a distinctive format, an international scope, and a distinguished array of authors.
It emphasizes the vital role of the traditional humanities in making the lives of a large blind population increasingly more meaningful and productive.
