Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What might a two-month visit to Australia and New Zealand be like if the traveler were not distracted and overwhelmed by the spectacular scenery? In this book Dan Pukstas, a blind professor, answers this question by providing a series of humorous and insightful perspectives about the places and people he encountered. Whether he is trying to find his way out of a strange restroom or climbing to the summit of a dormant volcano after by-pass surgery, Dan is ready with a philosophical quip or amusing observation. In the company of his wife Nancy, Dan covers a broad geographical area from Auckland to Adelaide, from Ayers Rock to Sydney, and from Cairns to Brisbane along 2000 kilometers of Queensland highway. His topics of interest are just as broad-from his observations about food, wine prices, parenting styles, public transportation, human behavior to the joys and challenges of travel for the visually impaired. Those who like witty and pointed observations served up with a modest amount of inspiration will find this book a tasty treat. Those who have healthy vision might also find that they will see things a bit more clearly after reading this book.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Beating Blindness combines an inspiring memoir with a set of practical tips that with help any blind person achieve a happy and successful life. In his memoir Dan Pukstas traces his confrontation with retinitis pigmentosa, from early childhood to his professional retirement and beyond. Episodes where Dan is playing youth baseball, traversing down a mountain as a blind skier, racing somewhat blindly down a college football field, and most significantly, having his life saved 3 times by his wife Nancy are both thrilling and engaging. This is not the tale of a victim but rather the story of an individual who saw growing visual affliction as a challenge and not a call to surrender. Most of all, Dan's account of his encounter with his deteriorating eyesight provides a model for how his three basic principles of a positive attitude, courage, and creativity led him to have a happy and successful life. Once Dan has shown the reader through the incidents in the memoir that he did indeed beat blindness, he goes on to offer a number of specific and practical methods that any visually challenged or blind person can use to make his life much better. Sometimes, Dan's suggestions are quite concrete; at other times he encourages the reader to take on a new attitude and to approach problems from and more productive point of view. Dan's positive attitude and sense of humor are always standing by to offer encouragement and to stimulate a "can-do" spirit. Staying safe, getting organized, maintaining good relationships with others, and continually pressing forward always get the attention they deserve. Not to be excluded from Dan's list of suggestions are the many ways that he has found to have fun and entertain himself. For Dan, fun And blindness are not mutually exclusive. In short, while blind readers will find Dan's battle with blindness and the weapons he used to defeat it to be exciting and useful, all readers of this book will experience joy in witnessing how another human being did not succumb to the problems caused by a serious disability but instead turn the troubles and limitations of the disability upside down so that they did not become the substance of a human defeat but instead the source of a great personal victory.
