The blurb on the back of the book reads:

Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does - humans are a musical species.
Oliver Sacks' compassionate, compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our brains, and of the human experience. In Musicophilia, he examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people - from a man who is struck by lightning and suddenly inspired to become a pianist at the age of forty-two, to an entire group of children with Williams Syndrome who are hypermusical from birth.

After lending out countless copies of The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat to people and never getting them back, I couldn't resist another offering from Oliver Sacks. And true to form, he shows just how fascinating the brain can be, and how life-changing even a small brain injury can be, even if it isn't life-threatening.

This entry is a bit late after release time since I forgot to record the BCID before I released it.

AS always Sachs writes about fascinating phenomena.

I released the book in Ben 'n Jerry's in Gamla Stan in Stockholm at the beginning of December.

Release details are a late posting since I forgot to note the BCID, then it was Christmas...
