Hardback. Zustand: Fair. NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The poet laureate of medicine (The New York Times) and author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat weaves together stories of mind-altering experiences to reveal what they tell us about our brains, our folklore and culture, and why the potential for hallucination exists in us all. Sacks has turned hallucinations from something bizarre and frightening into something that seems part of what it means to be a person. His book, too, is a medical and human triumph. --The Washington Post An absorbing plunge into a mystery of the mind. --Entertainment Weekly To many people, hallucinations imply madness, but in fact they are a common part of the human experience.
