The Mind's Eye by Oliver Sacks This book tells the stories of people who have lost essential senses and abilities, yet continue to navigate the world and communicate with others. The author explores how these individuals adapt to a radically new way of being in the world, revealing the remarkable ways in which humans can rise to challenges. Through his patients' experiences, Oliver Sacks sheds light on the complexities of the human brain and its ability to perceive and interpret information from the eye.
