Book Description
The Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales is a 1995 book by neurologist Oliver Sacks, consisting of seven medical case histories of individuals with neurological conditions such as autism and Tourette's syndrome. The anthropologist on Mars follows up on many of the topics Kiss explored in his 1985 book, The Man Who Mistakes His Wife for a Hat, but here the articles are noticeably longer, and Sachs has more opportunity to discuss each topic in more depth and to explore historical case studies of patients with of similar symptoms. In addition, Sacks studies his patients outside of the hospital, often traveling long distances to interact with his subjects in their own environments. Sachs concludes that "imperfections, disorders [and] diseases ... can play a paradoxical role, by highlighting the underlying forces, developments, developments, and forms of life that may never be seen, or even imagined, in their absence"
