Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
To these seven narratives of neurological disorder Dr. Sacks brings the same humanity, poetic observation, and infectious sense of wonder that are apparent in his bestsellers Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. These men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality.
Review:
"[Sacks] not only gives the reader a succinct historical understanding of various afflictions...but also communicates the practical, emotional, and spiritual consequences of those afflictions on particular individuals."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
Review:"Oliver Sacks has become our modern master of the case study, an artistic form whose antecedents lie in the scientific work of practitioners like A. R. Luria and Sigmund Freud...In his investigations...Dr. Sacks has never been less than generously humane...'An Anthropologist on Mars' is Dr. Sack's best book to date because it very self-consciously explores both the physician's and the patient's peculiar ways of thinking."
Wendy Lesser, New York Times Book Review
