Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: maps for the blind
Probably those of you who listen to NPR know about this, but my daughter
just sent this to me and she and I both thought it might be of interest to
you.

Do you know about maps for the blind? I heard a story
about it on npr
this morning. This organization up here in SF called
the Lighthouse is
making them - so far they have sold 15. The story was
very interesting,
about where in our brains we map places and what the
ability to "see" a
neighborhood or city does for blind people that they can't
experience
otherwise. You could probably hear the story or read
the transcript on
the npr web site.
Anyway I thought you might want to pass that onto your book
group in
case they don't know about it yet. They have maps of
the entire U.S.
but said most of the requests they have received have been
from people
wanting to "see" what their own city looks like.
