[GET] Oliver Sacks: The Man Who Mistook His Wive for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales

[StillStanding]

In his most extraordinary book, "one of the great clinical writers of the twentieth century" (The New York Times) recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders.

Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual
and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and
with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to
recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics
and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have
become alien; who have been dismissed as R******* yet are gifted with
uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.

If inconceivably
strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and
sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling
against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of
the neurologically impaired, to imagine with our hearts what it must be
to live and feel as they do. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of
medicine's ultimate responsibility: "the suffering, afflicted, fighting
human subject."

Thanks and repped earlier, but here is bit of synchronicity: The late Robin Williams talks about this book in an interview (just discovered this):
