As a young man, Californian history professor Robert Hine was told he was
going blind. In middle age, his doctor’s prophecy came true, but 15 years later,
a risky operation partially restored his sight. Second Sight is Hine’s
remarkably literate, humane and uplifting account of a journey in and out of
darkness. Published by University of California Press,
£10.95/$12.95, ISBN 0520208919.
