Format: M4B

A landmark work of neurological case studies by Oliver Sacks, exploring the extraordinary stories of patients with rare and fascinating conditions of the brain and mind. From a man who cannot recognise faces or objects to a woman who experiences vivid musical hallucinations, Sacks writes about his subjects with deep humanity and curiosity, revealing how damage or disorder to the brain can produce not just loss, but strange new worlds of perception and experience. Part science, part philosophy, and part storytelling, it raises profound questions about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human.
