AN ANTHROPOLOGIST ON MARS - OLIVER SACKS TASCHE...

'An inexhaustible tourist at the farther reaches of the mind  Sacks presents  in sparse 
unsentimental prose  the stories of seven of his patients. The result is as rich  vivid and
compelling as any collection of short fictional stories' Independent on Sunday As with his
previous bestseller  The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat  in An Anthropologist on Mars
Oliver Sacks uses case studies to illustrate the myriad ways in which neurological conditions
can affect our sense of self  our experience of the world  and how we relate to those around
us. Writing with his trademark blend of scientific rigour and human compassion  he describes
patients such as the colour-blind painter or the surgeon with compulsive tics that disappear in
the operating theatre  patients for whom disorientation and alienation - but also adaptation -
are inescapable facts of life.
