Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

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.

"Powerful and compassionate. . . . A book that not only contributes to our understanding of the elusive magic of music but also illuminates the strange workings, and misfirings, of the human mind." -- The New York Times "Curious, cultured, caring. . . . Musicophilia allows readers to join Sacks where he is most alive, amid melodies and with his patients." -- The Washington Post Book World "Sacks has an expert bedside manner: informed but humble, self-questioning, literary without being self-conscious."-- Los Angeles Times "Sacks spins one fascinating tale after another to show what happens when music and the brain mix it up." -- Newsweek "Sacks once again examines the many mysteries of a fascinating subject." -- The Seattle Times, "Dr. Sacks writes not just as a doctor and a scientist but also as a humanist with a philosophical and literary bent. . . [his] book not only contributes to our understanding of the elusive magic of music but also illuminates the strange workings, and misfirings, of the human mind." Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "Oliver Sacks turns his formidable attention to music and the brain . . . He doesn't stint on the science . . . but the underlying authority ofMusicophilialies in the warmth and easy command of the author's voice." Mark Coleman, Los Angeles Times "His work is luminous, original, and indispensable . . .Musicophiliais a Chopin mazurka recital of a book, fast, inventive and weirdly beautiful . . . Yet what is most awe-inspiring is his observational empathy." American Scholar "Curious, cultured, caring, in his person Sacks justifies the medical profession and, one is tempted to say, the human race . . . Sacks is, in short, the ideal exponent of the view that responsiveness to music is intrinsic to our makeup. He is also the ideal guide to the territory he covers.Musicophiliaallows readers to join Sacks where he is most alive, amid melodies and with his patients." Peter D. Kramer,The Washington Post "Readers will be grateful that Sacks . . . is happy to revel in phenomena that he cannot yet explain." The New York Times Book Review "The persuasive essays about composers, patients, savants, and ordinary people . . . offer captivating variations on the central premise that human beings are 'exquisitely tuned' to the illuminating yet ultimately mysterious powers of music." Elle "With the exception of Lewis Thomas, no physician has ever written better about his trade." Salon "A gifted writer and a neurologist, Sacks spins one fascinating tale after another to show what happens when music and the brain mix it up."

    Superb Insights On Musical Abilities!!

    These are short and easily readable case histories on neurological and physical problems and differences relating to musical abilities in a great many patients treated by Dr. Sacks and others over several centuries. This book is a comprehensive treatment and summary of all sources the author could find plus his own observations and those of many of the world's past and current experts and researchers on humans and their connection to music and rhythm. Of special interest to me were discussions about a great many of the world's great composers and musicians with unique abilities or problems caused by injuries, genetic abnormalities, disease, lightning strike, et cetera. Some professional popular and classical percussionists can't carry a tune at all. some performers learn to ...
