First Place Math

影響一整個世代的腦科學啟蒙作家 醫學界的桂冠詩人——奧立佛．薩克斯 探索人類心智與大腦的最後文集 ★ 暢銷經典《錯把太太當帽子的人》、《火星上的人類學家》作者奧立佛．薩克斯最後遺作 ★ 生平著作翻譯成超過25國語言，當今最知名的腦神經學作家 ★ 亞馬遜網路書店編輯精選「最佳非小說」、讀者4.6顆星好評 ★ 精神醫學 × 自然科學 × 文學 × 心理學──各界聯合推薦 「科學絕對不像許多人所以為的那樣，只是冰冷的計算公式， 而是充斥著熱情、渴望與浪漫。」──奧立佛．薩克斯 從蕨類、頭足類到精神病，從青春記憶到對21世紀人類的盼望，此書集結薩克斯醫師未曾出版的書稿，讓想念他的讀者們，有機會再次透過細膩且精采的文字，感受作者對於科學與宇宙萬物的廣大好奇心，喚起我們曾經熱愛的興趣和夢想。 § 回到科學的啟蒙與起點──我的那些初戀 從對蕨類植物、游泳的著迷，到對閱讀和生物學無比的熱愛，薩克斯總是能以浪漫又帶點幽默的角度，描述任何一件外人看起來極其嚴肅又無趣的科學事件。在閱讀這些故事時，我們總是能因為他幾近癡迷的狂熱舉動而會心一笑。 § 透過科學洞察與人文關懷，交織精彩的病例探索──臨床故事 薩克斯醫師曾說過：「我們大家是醫『病人』的病，而不是醫『病』而已，不管多忙，我們要切記，不要忘了人與人之間的關係。」這也是他能成為如此受歡迎的神經科學作家的原因之一。其富含同理且溫柔的筆觸，即使是未曾深入腦神經科學領域的讀者，也能輕易理解複雜的病程並投入其中。 「他的家人讓他陷入冰冷，拯救了他；我們讓他甦醒，結果他卻死了。」書中收錄了思覺失調、妥瑞症、老年癡呆和阿茲海默症等病例的探索，時而充滿希望，時而令人沮喪、絕望，但這就是人類生命無常卻神祕的地方。誰也不能保證這些大腦病變是否有治癒的可能，還是只會不斷衰退，但透過薩克斯的記錄，這些病例有血有肉地呈現在我們眼前，讀者彷彿也經歷了陪伴病患的歲月，更體會生命的無限可能。 § 臨終前對生命的回首與盼望──生命未完待續 「我正在面對自己即將離世的事實，必須如此相信──相信人類和地球會存活下去，相信生命會繼續，相信這不會是我們的終點。」 薩克斯在人生的最後，
