A Sense of the World
September 1, 2006: Daniel Kish and World Access for the Blind appear in the final chapter of A Sense of the World, a book by Jason Roberts' about a blind Englishman named James Holman, who traveled throughout the world in the 1800's without need of assistance.
Staying one step ahead of those desiring to institutionalize or infantilize him for his blindness, Holman traveled more miles than any other explorer prior to motorized transportation. Artist, poet, and sportsman, this extraordinary individual ventured through jungles, across deserts, and over seas, ever embracing the world, and always reaching for the "more" that he could become. Roberts names Kish "the Spiritual Successor to James Holman." See this Time Magazine link for a review of this captivating and inspirational account.
