In \u003ci\u003eMusicophilia\u003c\/i\u003e, he shows us a variety of what he calls \"musical misalignments.\" Among them: a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at the age of forty-two; an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth; people with \"amusia,\" to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds-for everything but music. Illuminating, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable, \u003ci\u003eMusicophilia\u003c\/i\u003e is Oliver Sacks' latest masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400033539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/19\/2008 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oliver Sacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36649400238236,"sku":"9781400033539","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2db30a47-de38-4f1a-88b0-509dd0009a4e.jpg?v=1603872660","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/musicophilia-tales-of-music-and-the-brain-9781400033539","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
