{"product_id":"9781400033539","title":"Musicophilia","description":"\u003cb\u003eRevised and Expanded\u003c\/b\u003eWith the same trademark compassion and erudition he brought to \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat\u003c\/i\u003e, Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition. 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.\"","brand":"Oliver Sacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46287270609214,"sku":"9781400033539","price":453.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781400033539_e2f854c0-9f99-4dd9-9462-b415ccdff70b.jpg?v=1707442379","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781400033539","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
