MUSICOPHILIA - OLIVER SACKS TASCHENBUCH

'A humane discourse on the fragility of our minds  of the bodies that give rise to them  and of
the world they create for us. This book is filled with wonders' Daily Telegraph Oliver Sacks'
compassionate tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have
fundamentally changed the way we think of our own minds. In Musicophilia  he examines the
powers of music through the individual experiences of patients  musicians and everyday people -
those struck by affliction  unusual talent and even  in one case  by lightning - to show not
only that music occupies more areas of our brain than language does  but also that it can
torment  calm  organize and heal. Always wise and compellingly readable  these stories alter
our conception of who we are and how we function  and show us an essential part of what it is
to be human.
