Advantages: Interesting, thought-provoking case studies Disadvantages: Author doesn't really make any conclusions clear; more for the specialist
OliverSacks is a physician and neurologist by profession, but has an extremely keen ear for music. He is supremely, if not almost uniquely, qualified to tell us in the opening pages of this book that the power of music occupies more areas of our brain than language does. This is by way of a prelude to a book consisting largely of case histories of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions.
Among the cases he discusses is that of Tony Cicoria, a previously more or less unmusical 42-year-old surgeon, who was struck by lightning while making a telephone call, developed a passion for music within a few weeks, started teaching himself the piano, and became a compulsive composer; Silvia N., who suffered from epilepsy, who was normally sent into convulsions by a CD of Neapolitan songs; and Rachael Y., a composer ...

Sainbury`s basics, not an exactly mind blowing title for the range but very apt. I have recently started to explore the range of over 550 products and I don't think that I am the only one by any means.

This weekend my 2 year old informed me that we hadn't bought new books for a while - it had been a whole 8 days since I bought him three new books, and that we needed to go out and buy more. Being a mother keen to encourage my son and his love of reading, I agreed to take him into town to pick up a new book. As it turned out, the 3 for 2 offer at Early Learning Centre proved too much temptation and I left the store with three. I am sure many of you are screaming "Get a library card" and I cannot argue with this common sense except that I love walking into my boy's room and seeing shelves packed with his very own books.
