A Sense of the World: How a Blind Man Became History's Greatest Traveler -- Jaso

<p>He was known simply as the Blind Traveler. A solitary, sightless adventurer, James Holman (1786-1857) fought the slave trade in Africa, survived a frozen captivity in Siberia, hunted rogue elephants in Ceylon, helped chart the Australian outback--and, astonishingly, circumnavigated the globe, becoming one of the greatest wonders of the world he so sagaciously explored. <em>A Sense of the World</em> is a spellbinding and moving rediscovery of one of history's most epic lives--a story to awaken our own senses of awe and wonder.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Jason Roberts<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 05/29/2007<br><b>Pages:</b> 432<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.82lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.07d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780007161263
