Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales

In this book, the author employs case studies to illustrate the diverse ways in which neurological conditions impact our sense of self, our perception of the world, and our interactions with others.

With his signature combination of scientific rigor and compassionate storytelling, author Oliver Sacks introduces patients like the color-blind painter or the surgeon with compulsive tics that vanish during surgery. These individuals grapple with disorientation, alienation, yet also find adaptation as an inescapable aspect of their lives.
