Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain (Revised and Expanded)
(Oliver Sacks, 2007)
Teresa L. Schraeder, M.D.
If you have ever wondered why you enjoy music (or perhaps why one of your screwball relatives does not) and you care even remotely about the human mind, then this book is a must read.
It is an absolute symphonic treasure of thoughts, historical references, and clinical cases of all things concerning music and the mind.
In reading this book, you will witness Sacks's thoughtful and inquisitive observations along with his compassion for the physiologic interplay between notes and neurology – a harmonious and delicious work meant to be consumed as one would a brilliant meal before a night at the symphony...voraciously!
