Description: | Select Guide Rating From the bestselling author of Awakenings, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Musicophilia. <p><b>'A mine of treasures, a source of visions, a microcosm of human experience and suffering, the philosopher's stone: <i>Migraine</i> is a remarkable achievement' - <i>Sunday Telegraph.</i></b><br><br> Migraine is an age-old – the first recorded instances date back over two thousand years – and often debilitating condition, affecting a 'substantial minority' of the population across the globe. In <i>Migraine</i>, Oliver Sacks offers at once a medical account of its occurrence and management; an exploration of its physical, physiological, and psychological underpinnings and consequences; and a meditation on the nature and experience of health and illness.</p> |
