书籍简介：

To these seven narratives of neurological disorder Dr. Sacks brings the same humanity, poetic observation, and infectious sense of wonder that are apparent in his bestsellers Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. These men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality.

作者简介：

Dr. Oliver Sacks spent more than fifty years working as a neurologist and writing books about the neurological predicaments and conditions of his patients, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia, and Hallucinations. The New York Times referred to him as “the poet laureate of medicine,” and over the years he received many awards, including honors from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and the Royal College of Physicians. His memoir On the Move was published shortly before his death in August 2015.

书友短评：

@ BOOKMAN audio book @ hannah Sacks 文笔读起来舒服 @ 赵贾森 人类being self的挣扎，Temple最后令人动容的说出“I'm talking about things at the very core of my existence” @ 是哦哦啊 每一章都是一种不同的看世界的角度。Temple的squeeze machine听起来好棒！ @ 安可期 火星上的人类学家 @ 是哦哦啊 每一章都是一种不同的看世界的角度。Temple的squeeze machine听起来好棒！ @ 安可期 火星上的人类学家 @ 还是小疯子 从医生的角度聊那些脑子与常人不同的“患者”的世界。究竟什么才是正常？什么才是疾病呢？健康就一定是最优的吗？可能“脑子有问题”反而可以让一个人从一个全新的角度享受这个世界呢 @ Echo 很多病例个人生活的介绍，非常具有人文关怀。在通勤时间audible听的，所以有的时候会大段溜号，不算很完整的读了这本。只是不符合我的期待，我以为会偏科普向，实际有点y太煽情了。 @ 莉莉刘 非常好看，推荐大家都来看

  • there is no such entity as “memory”, but only the dynamic process of “remembering” (he is always at pains, in his great book Remembering, to avoid the noun and use the verb).Remembering is not the re-excitation of innumerable fixed, lifeless and fragmentary traces. It is an imaginative reconstruction, or construction, built out of the relation of our attitude towards a whole active mass of organized past reactions or experience, and to a little outstanding detail which commonly appears in image or in language form. It is thus hardly ever really exact, even in the most rudimentary cases of rote recapitulation, and it is not at all important that it should be so.

  • Bartlett’s conclusion now finds the strongest support in Gerald Edelman’s neuroscientific work, his view of the brain as a ubiquitously active system where a constant shifting is in process, and everything is continually updated and recorrelated. There is nothing cameralike, nothing mechanical, in Edelman’s view of the mind: every perception is a creation, every memory a recreation—all remembering is relating, generalizing, recategorizing. In such a view there cannot be any fixed memories, any “pure” view of the past uncolored by the present. For Edelman, as for Bartlett, there are always dynamic processes at work, and remembering is always reconstruction, not reproduction.
