Musicophilia Tales of Music and the Brain By: Oliver Sacks Publisher: Vintage Print ISBN: 9781400040810, 1400040817 eText ISBN: 9780307267917, 0307267911 Copyright year: 2008 Format: EPUB Available from $ 7.99 USD SKU: 9780307267917 For Sale in US* Only Revised and Expanded With the same trademark compassion and erudition he brought to The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition. In Musicophilia, he shows us a variety of what he calls “musical misalignments.” Among them: a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at the age of forty-two; an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth; people with “amusia,” to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds-for everything but music. Illuminating, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable, Musicophilia is Oliver Sacks' latest masterpiece.
