fascinating case studies of neurobiologyJuly 18, 1996 The author risks decending into "Ripley's Believe It or Not" with these
case studies from his own files of the neurologically damaged (and enhanced). His
work is saved by his own compassion and struggles to understand what has happened to
these very sympathetic characters.
More than just psychology.May 25, 1996 Oliver Sacks, known best for his famous book _Awakenings_,
is one of the few psychologists who looks beyond the science
and considers the human factor to be more important than the
facts and figures. Writing about such unusual patients as
"Witty ticcy Ray", a man whose Tourette's Syndrome gives him
extraordinary improvisational powers, or a pair of twins who
speak to each other in mathematical riddles, Sacks presents
interesting, often amusing, case studies of people whose
disorders are as thought-provoking as they are frightening.
EVERYTHING by Oliver Sacks is worth reading!October 20, 1995 Fascinating inquiry into the workings of the brain and mind.
Well written, easy for the layman to understand.
