'Oliver Sacks is a perfect antidote to the anaesthetic of familiarity. His writing turns brains and minds transparent.' -- The Observer '... Sacks's most powerful book to date.' -- The Sunday Telegraph 'Packed with wisdom, humour, extraordinary human stories and reflections on how we all perceive the world ... He ends with a brilliant discussion of blindness and the ways in which blind people develop visual concepts. Heartily recommended.' -- Reader's Digest
