WALKING IN THE BRAIN
|
| Oliver Sacks has a way of letting the reader walk through the brain. I first read him in his book about Sign Language (and made it a textbook for my class), then Awakening. The use of footnotes almost gives you two separate books but if you want to LEARN, it's worth it. As a musician, I can attest that music is a second (third, fourth) langauge and grabs the brain by the throat. I think Sacks enjoys the research more than the topics, which he himself picks. I look forward to anything he publishes. |
