Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks is now available for free ePub download or online reading.
Intro:
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.. First published January 1, 2007. Original format: Hardcover. Pages: 400. #musicophilia-ebook #musicophilia-epub #read #download
