 Vision: a memoir of blindness and justice by David S. Tatel\n"A memoir by 
 one of America's most accomplished public servants and legal thinkers-who 
 spent years denying and working around his blindness\, before finally 
 embracing it as an essential part of his identity. David Tatel has served 
 nearly 30 years on America's second highest court\, the United States Court 
 of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit\, where many of our most crucial cases are 
 resolved-or teed up for the Supreme Court. He has championed equal justice 
 for his entire adult life\; decided landmark environmental and voting 
 cases\; and embodied the ideal of what a great judge should be. Yet he has 
 been blind for the past 50 of his 80-plus years. Initially\, he depended 
 upon aides to read texts to him\, and more recently\, a suite of hi-tech 
 solutions has allowed him to listen to reams of documents at high speeds. 
 At first\, he tried to hide his deteriorating vision\, and for years\, he 
 denied that it had any impact on his career. Only recently\, partly thanks 
 to his first-ever guide dog\, Vixen\, has he come to fully accept his 
 blindness and the role it's played in his personal and professional lives. 
 His story of fighting for justice over many decades\, with and without 
 eyesight\, is an inspiration to us all."-- Goodreads. -- Unrated.
