Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Good. 345 pages. Cover wornOliver Sacks has always been fascinated by islands - their remoteness, their mystery, above all the uniqu e forms of life they harbor. For him. islands conjure up equally the romance of Melville and Stevenson, the adventure of Magellan and Cook, and the scientific wonder of Darwin and Wallace. Drawn to the tiny Pacific atoll of Pingelap by intriguing reports of an isolated community of islanders born totally colorblind, Sacks f inds himself setting up a clinic in a one-room dispensary, where he listens to these achromatopic islanders describe their colorle ss world in rich terms of pattern and tone, luminance and shadow. And on Guam. where he goes to investigate the puzzling neurodege nerative paralysis endemic there for a century, he becomes, for a brief time, an island neurologist, making house calls with his c olleague John Steele, amid crowing cockerels, cycad jungles and r emains of a colonial culture.
