Luke Dittrich seeks to shed light on the man behind the initials, and in doing so, uncovers quite a bit more than he expected.
A combination of scientific and personal, Dittrich punctuates the history with personal accounts and snippets, which makes the end result a rare form of writing that touches and informs.
For a different, but equally fascinating exploration of the brain and its functions, [[Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks]] presents a series of case studies of patients adjusting to various neurological conditions. You might also appreciate [[The Moon and Madness by Niall McCrae]].
