«An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales» is Oliver Sacks's essay collection, published by Vintage in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Seven stories of neurological patients in which Oliver Sacks shows how brain damage or anomaly can open up ways of perceiving and inhabiting the world. The cases include a surgeon with Tourette's syndrome, a painter who loses color vision, and an autistic professor who understands animal behavior better than human interaction.
The work originally appeared in 1995 under the Knopf imprint; the 1996 edition includes bibliographic references and an index.
For readers interested in neurology, psychology and clinical cases, and for those seeking popular science about the mind.
Oliver Wolf Sacks was a British neurologist, naturalist, historian of science, and writer.
