from Peter Smith Pub Inc

Customer Review:
Oliver Sacks spent his career as a clinical neurologist. Somber, comical, encouraging, dispiriting, outlandish, but always fascinating.

from Harper Audio

Customer Review:
Oliver Sacks composed this work because he became highly intrigued by the deaf after reading the paper "When the Mind Hears: A History of the Deaf" by Harlan Lane. Similarly, it is hard not to be both intrigued and impressed by the deaf population after reading Sacks' work "Seeing Voices". The focus... more info

While technology and knowledge in the field of neuropsychology has progressed, the questions asked and the process for studying disorders are still the same. This book touches on many things... more info

The title of this book comes from (who else?) Stephen J Gould. This is what a scientific discussion could be and should be.
