Requests:  0 Summary:  When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: "Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far." Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California, where he struggled with drug addiction, and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, we see how his engagement with patients comes to define his life. Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions -- weight lifting and swimming -- also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists -- Thom Gunn, A. R. Luria, W. H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick -- who influenced him.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Large Type LT B Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology LT 616.80092 Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Large Type LT 616.80092 Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Large Type LT B Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Large Type LT B Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Large Type LT 616.80092 Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT 616.80092 SACKS SA Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Large Type LT 616.80092 Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Large Type LT B Sacks Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
