Musicophilia : tales of music and the brain / Oliver Sacks. by Sacks, Oliver, 1933-2015. New York : Vintage Books, 2008. Subjects Music -- Psychological aspects.   Music -- Physiological aspects. ISBN:  9781400033539 (pbk.) 1400033535 (pbk.) Description:  425 p. ; 21 cm. Edition:  Rev. and expanded, 1st Vintage Books ed. Requests:  1 Summary:  "Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition. In Musicophilia, 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. Dr. Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson's disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people who are deeply disoriented by Alzheimer's or schizophrenia." - Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 781.11 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 781.11 Sa Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 781.11 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 781.11 Sa Lost 03/14/2014 Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 781.11 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 781.11 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 781.11 Sa Checked out 06/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList
