Into the Silent Land: Travels in Neuropsychology | Paul Broks
A leading neuropsychologist journeys into the mysteries of his field in a fascinating collection of narratives that explore the world of the neurologically impaired, in such essays as "The Sea and the Almond," about a young woman who agrees to a radical surgery to eliminate her seizures, and "I Think Therefore I Am Dead," about a patient with a debilitating illness without diagnosis or cure.
