Oliver Sacks
Presents a memoir from Oliver Sacks, which is both a departure from and an enhancement of his previous psychologically orientated 'medical' writing. Providing an account of an English childhood seasoned by a childish passion for science, it also gives an insight into the mind and background of one of the finest and most accessible scientist.
