Selina Mills and Andrew Leland have both just published new books about blindness. Andrew's is called The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight and Selina's is Life Unseen: A Story of Blindness. Both books have similar themes, in that they assess where the societal attitudes towards blindness may have originated from and how they subsequently interweave into our modern society. Both authors are visually impaired and live on either side of the Atlantic, and so they join us in discussing the cultural and historical differences.
In Touch has widely covered the proposed closures of ticketing offices at train stations. Well now a public consultation has been launched by Transport Focus and London TravelWatch. It ends on Wednesday 26 July and to submit your responses, you can visit their websites or call 0300 123 2350.
