Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how a blind person pours a cup of coffee? Or how they and their guide dog know when it's safe to cross a busy road?When Lois Strachan lost her sight at the age of 21 years she had to learn the answers to these and countless other questions of how to live as a blind person in a sighted world.In this delightfully quirky and entertaining book Lois shares some of the secrets she discovered about how to live an "ordinary" life in an extraordinary way despite her disability.The second edition of A Different Way of Seeing contains the complete original book with an additional 30% new content - many more stories and updated information that add to this humorous and enlightening perspective of what it's really like living life as a blind person. Author Interview: Q: Did you always want to become a writer?A: No, when I was young I wanted to be a rock musician. Then I wanted to become an archeologist. And then I lost my sight. I became an author almost by accident when I met an illustrator who encouraged me to publish several children's books I'd written years previously. These became the series "The Adventures of Missy Mouse". Next thing, a mentor suggested I write a book describing how I accomplish tasks to answer the questions that audiences at my motivational talks had. Which became my narrative non-fiction, "A Different Way of Seeing". That was the point at which I fell in love with writing as a career. Q: Why write about your blindness?A: I think that one of the greatest challenges we have as the blind and visually impaired community is that people do not understand how we accomplish tasks and assume, incorrectly, that those tasks are either hard or impossible for us. My book is an attempt to bridge that gap of understanding to build greater levels of inclusion within society and the workplace. Q: Who should read your book? A: Am I allowed to say that everyone should read it? My target audience is anyone interested in learning how I live my life as a blind woman, anyone who is experiencing sight loss, or anyone interested in a feel-good story of moving forward after a lifechanging challenge. Although I'm more than happy for anyone else to read it! Q: What topics do you write about? A: I write about many different aspects of my life, from tasks like cooking, cleaning, selecting clothing, applying make-up, using technology, right the way through to topics like travel, entertainment, and of course, my three beautiful guide dogs. And I sprinkle stories of my personal experiences throughout the book.Q: What message do you want readers to take away from your book? A: That disability does not mean inability - that we have tools and techniques as members of the visually impaired community that allow us to do almost anything that a sighted person can. Q: What part of the book did you most enjoy writing?A: Definitely the chapters about my wonderful guide dogs, who have walked so much of the journey alongside me. Q: Your writing is unexpectedly light-hearted. Was that a deliberate decision when you wrote the book? A: Yes and no. Ralph Smedley, the founder of Toastmasters International, said that we learn best in moments of enjoyment. So I felt I wanted the book to focus on some of the light-hearted stories from my life as a blind woman. But I usually see the lighter side of things that happen to me, so it's true to who I am as a person. Q: In your book you mention how much you love reading. What types of books do you enjoy most?A: I'm something of an escapist reader, so anything that will take me on a journey to another time or place. My current favourite genres are urban fantasy, alternate history, and literary fiction... oh, and I also enjoy travel memoirs. To be honest, I'll read almost anything that suits my mood at the time.

Book excerpt: "There are no photographs which can be denied. All photographs have the status of fact. What is to be examined is in what way photography can and cannot give meaning to facts." With these words, two of our most thoughtful and eloquent interrogators of the visual offer a singular meditation on the ambiguities of what is seemingly our straightforward art form. As constructed by John Berger and the renowned Swiss photographer Jean Mohr, that theory includes images as well as words; not only analysis, but anecdote and memoir. Another Way of Telling explores the tension between the photographer and the photographed, between the picture and its viewers, between the filmed moment and the memories that it so resembles. Combining the moral vision of the critic and the pratical engagement of the photgrapher, Berger and Mohr have produced a work that expands the frontiers of criticism first charged by Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, and Susan Sontag.

Book excerpt: After beginning his career as a photojournalist for a daily newspaper in southern California, Dan Winters moved to New York to begin a celebrated career that has since led to more than one hundred awards, including the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography. An immensely respected portrait photographer, Dan is well known for an impeccable use of light, colour, and depth in his evocative images. In Road to Seeing, Dan shares his journey to becoming a photographer, as well as key moments in his career that have influenced and informed the decisions he has made and the path he has taken. Though this book appeals to the broader photography audience, it speaks primarily to the student of photography--whether enrolled in school or not--and addresses such topics as creating a visual language; the history of photography; the portfolio; street photography; personal projects; his portraiture work; and the need for key characteristics such as perseverance, awareness, curiosity, and reverence. By relaying both personal experiences and a kind of philosophy on photography, Road to Seeing tells the reader how one photographer carved a path for himself, and in so doing, helps equip the reader to forge his own.

Book excerpt: In ANOTHER WAY OF SEEING, Peter Gabel argues that our most fundamental spiritual need as human beings is the desire for authentic mutual recognition. Because we live in a world in which this desire is systematically denied due to the legacy of fear of the other that has been passed on from generation to generation, we exist as what he calls "withdrawn selves," perceiving the other as a threat rather than as the source of our completion as social beings. Calling for a new kind of "spiritual activism" that speaks to this universal interpersonal longing, Gabel shows how we can transform law, politics, public policy, and culture so as to build a new social movement through which we become more fully present to each other--creating a new "parallel universe" existing alongside our socially separated world and reaffirming the social bond that inherently unites us. "Peter Gabel is one of the grand prophetic voices in our day. He also is a long-distance runner in the struggle for justice. Don't miss this book!" --Cornel West, The Class of 1943 Professor, Princeton University, and Professor of Philosophy and Christian Practice, Union Theological Seminary "Replete with wise insights that reward readers with Another Way of Seeing toward their pursuit of compassion, community, and a better world, law professor, activist and philosopher Peter Gabel's excellent essay collection elaborates upon the meaning of Martin Luther King Jr.'s expression 'Justice is love correcting that which revolts against love.' No matter what your expertise, Gabel's thoughts are pertinent to fulfillment of your human possibilities." --Ralph Nader, Washington, DC
