Oliver Sacks recalls his childhood in England during World War II. The noise of a tungsten bar opens his memory of a boarding school of hunger and hardship; back in London, his uncle Dave, owner of a lightbulb factory, introduces him to chemistry and physics, and the young man finds in science a refuge to order his life.

For readers of memoirs and biographies of scientists, interested in chemistry and physics.
