One of my favorite authors, Oliver Sachs, has just come out with a new book, Musicophilia. Even though I have not yet read the book, it sounds so interesting that I wanted to make people aware of it.

This book promises to examine how the brain processes music. I have read several books by Sachs, who is a neurologist specializing in brain processes. They have all been excellent. His case studies give dignity to the people whose lives he describes, and open up fascinating facets of human behavior for study.

Here is a short review of the book. And Sachs' video clips (scroll down to get them) really pique my interest.
