Items related to An Anthropologist on Mars
A physician, professor of neurology and author, Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) has been described by the New York Times as 'a kind of poet laureate of contemporary medicine'. His books are made up of case histories of his patients, and explore both their neurological disorders and the strategies they adopted to cope with them.
The seven cases in this volume include a colour-blind painter, prodigious feats of calculation and draughtsmanship by savants, and an autistic professor of animal science. Slightly off-mint.

Review:
Sacks' great gift is his capacity to place himself in the position of his subjects, to see the world the way they see it and to empathize with their condition with great compassion but without patronage or pity. Source: Daily Telegraph
Writing simply and beautifully, Sacks uses individual case histories to reveal the infinite complexities of the human mind. Source: Daily Mail

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As with The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, 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. From the bestselling author of Awakenings, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Musicophilia. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
