一个神经科医生的治愈之旅（共3册）
Oliver Sachs
"Every Detour Leads to Me" is the autobiography of neuroscientist Oliver Sacks. The narrative spans from his youth to his twilight years, and every part is wonderful. Oliver Sachs is known as "one of the greatest clinical medical writers of the 20th century", and in this biography, we see that even though he is surrounded by halo and honors, life still has its specific and trivial pains and difficulties. There are 24 people with brain injuries in "Mistaking My Wife for a Hat": Some people mistake their wives for hats and have to grab them and put them on their heads; some people can't feel their own bodies; some people can't communicate with people at all, but they can talk to animals freely; and some people can't add, subtract, multiply, and divide, but they can directly know the precise answers to complex calculations... These aliens in the eyes of ordinary people have great potential in the relationship between themselves and the external world, which surpasses our current knowledge. "Uncle Tungsten" is a teenage memoir by neuroscientist Oliver Sacks, telling a romantic story about science. Born into a medical family, Sachs, a young man, was influenced and encouraged by his uncle Tungsten. He became passionately fond of chemistry and immersed himself in all kinds of magical chemical experiments. In his writing, terms such as metals, atoms, cold light, force lines, radiation, and the periodic table of elements, which originally existed only in textbooks, seem to have been given life and have become important companions to accompany the author through his childhood shrouded in the haze of war. Sachs's passionate descriptions seamlessly combine scientific knowledge with spiritual growth, which is beautiful and moving.
