Story
Oliver Sacks is well known as an explorer of the human mind - a neurologist with a gift for complex, insightful portrayals of people and their conditions. However, he is also a card-carrying member of the American Fern Society, and since childhood has been fascinated by these primitive plants and their ability to survive and adapt in many climates. Oaxaca Journal is Sacks' spellbinding account of his trip with a group of fellow fern enthusiasts to the beautiful, history-steeped province of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Story
Long before Oliver Sacks became a distinguished neurologist and best-selling writer, he was a small English boy fascinated by metals - also by chemical reactions (the louder and smellier the better), photography, squids and cuttlefish, H.G. Wells, and the periodic table. In this endlessly charming and eloquent memoir, the he chronicles his love affair with science and the magnificently odd and sometimes harrowing childhood in which that love affair unfolded.

Story
"El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero" se convirtió inmediatamente en un clásico y consagró a Oliver Sacks como "uno de los grandes escritores clínicos del siglo" (The New York Times). En este audiolibro, Oliver Sacks narra veinte historiales médicos de pacientes perdidos en el mundo extraño y aparentemente irremediable de las enfermedades neurológicas. Se trata de casos de individuos, aquejados por inauditas aberraciones de la percepción que han perdido la memoria, y con ella, la mayor parte de su pasado.

Story
Un giorno, a New York, Oliver Sacks partecipa all'incontro organizzato da un batterista con una trentina di persone affette dalla sindrome di Tourette. Poi il batterista inizia a suonare, e tutti in cerchio lo seguono con i loro tamburi: come per incanto i tic scompaiono, e il gruppo si fonde in una perfetta sincronia ritmica. Presentando questo e molti altri casi con la consueta capacità di immedesimazione, Sacks esplora la "straordinaria forza neurale" della musica e i suoi nessi con le funzioni e disfunzioni del cervello.

Story
De la mano del Dr. Oliver Wolf Sacks [1933-2015], este canal se quiere pasear por la neurociencia como marco en donde poder aprender, reflexionar y discutir de aprendizaje, sufrimiento, discapacidad, disfrute, compasión, arte... en definitiva, de lo que parece ser que nos hace humanos, y seguro, animales. Oilver Sacks fue médico neurólogo, profesor y autor; murió a la edad del plomo, con 82 años y firmaba con los tres elementos de la tabla periódica que conforman su nombre: el Oxígeno, el Wolframio y el Azufre (O.W.S.). Este canal es un homenaje al científico compasivo en ...

Story
Oliver Sacks widmet sich in seinem neuen Werk dem Zusammenhang von visueller Wahrnehmung und Bewusstsein. Es gelingt ihm wieder, komplexe Dinge verständlich zu beschreiben. Das Außergewöhnliche: Sacks schildert, wie er selbst 2005 an einem bösartigen Tumor im Auge erkrankte. Er berichtet vom Leben mit dem Krebs und dem Verlust seiner visuellen Fähigkeiten. Doch er entdeckt auch "positive" Phänomene: milde Illusion, Halluzinationen, Veränderungen in der Wahrnehmung von Farben und Umrissen.

Story
Oliver Sacks siempre se ha sentido atraído por las islas, esos "experimentos de la naturaleza, lugares benditos y malditos por su singularidad geográfica, que albergan formas de vida únicas". En su última obra, esta fascinación le lleva más lejos que nunca, a las remotas islas del Pacífico, donde concilia su afición a explorar el mundo real con su pasión por investigar el mundo de la mente. En esta ocasión abandona transitoriamente a los individuos y con herramientas no sólo de neurólogo sino también de antropólogo...
