VIDBE-Q Volume 65 Issue 3
provides descriptions of monoculars and wearables in the fifth chapter, but there
are no supporting images. If some images were provided in particular pages, it
would have been beneficial for people with low vision or readers with vision to
further explain the devices described.
Another critique is that I noticed that similar topics are discussed in different
chapters. For instance, the author wrote about hosting at home in the eighth and
eleventh chapters; cooking was discussed in the third, fifth, and seventh chapters
and issues related to the home environment were discussed both in the second and
seventh chapters. A better organization could have allowed relevant topics to be
discussed in the same chapter.
Overall, this book has potential to be a valuable resource in the field of visual
impairments. It focuses on practical, social, and personal recovery for people with
visual impairments, and it is accessible for anyone to read. It provides information
that allows the novice in the field of visual impairment to become knowledgeable,
while promoting a positive, independent, assertive person if you try the author's
suggestions. People with visual impairments, their families and friends, as well as
professionals in the field of visual impairment or adult rehabilitation who want to
learn about vision loss in adults will find this book full of practical strategies and
suggestions.
