An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales

Renowned neurologist and author Oliver Sacks transports readers into the uncanny worlds of his subjects with An Anthropologist on Mars, from an artist who loses his ability to see to an autistic professor who specializes in animal sciences but finds that the behaviours of humans elude them to a surgeon who somehow is able to perform delicate operations despite of their compulsive tics and Tourette's outbursts. 

By sharing the tales of these extraordinary people, Sacks explores what it is to feel, to sense, to remember, and to be, ultimately, a coherent self in the world.
