内容説明・目次
内容説明
<b>Revised and Expanded</b></p>With the same trademark compassion and erudition he brought to <i>The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat</i>, Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition. In <i>Musicophilia</i>, 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, <i>Musicophilia</i> is Oliver Sacks' latest masterpiece.</p>"
