Oliver Sacks compassionate tales of people struggling to adapt to ditierent neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own minds. In Musicophilia, he examines the powers of musio throngh the individual experiences of patients, musicians and evervday people - those struck by affliction, unusual talent and even, in one case, by lightning - to show not only that musie occupies more areas of our brain than language does, but also that it can torment, calm. organize and heal.
