Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of the neurologically impaired, to imagine with our hearts what it must be to live and feel as they do. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicine's ultimate responsibility: "the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject." 000309444 650_0 $$aNeurology$$vAnecdotes. 000309444 85200 $$bgen$$hRC351$$i.S195$$i1998 000309444 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/simon051/98004723.html 000309444 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/simon041/98004723.html 000309444 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0631/98004723-t.html 000309444 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:309444$$pGLOBAL_SET 000309444 980__ $$aBIB 000309444 980__ $$aBOOK 000309444 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
