Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain description
Amazon Significant Seven, December 2007: Legendary R&B icon Ray Charles claimed that he was "born with music inside me," and neurologist Oliver Sacks believes Ray may have been right. Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain examines the extreme effects of music on the human brain and how lives can be utterly transformed by the simplest of harmonies. With clinical studies covering the tragic (individuals afflicted by an inability to connect with any melody) and triumphant (Alzheimer's patients who find order and comfort through music), Sacks provides an erudite look at the notion that humans are truly a "musical species." --Dave Callanan |

Musicophilia
|
| The book was fascinating. In addition to offering a comprehensive set of narratives about extraordinary mental conditions involving the perception of music, it provided an entry into awareness of the activities of the brain, as they are now known. It also suggested some provocative philosophical and theological questions. |
