书籍简介

一个男孩冒险经历中所有的喜悦和惊奇，是一个非凡的年轻人令人难忘的肖像。奥利弗-萨克斯以热情和机智唤起了他在战时英国的成长经历。他讲述了一个崇尚科学的大家庭，这个家庭培养了他早期对化学的痴迷。

他在寄宿学校度过的岁月虽然并不快乐，但却培养了他的求知欲，而这正是他日后生活的基础。我们还听说了他回到伦敦的故事，一个情感缺失的10岁孩子在学习热情中找到了慰藉。

“如果你不认为镓和铱能打动你，这本绝妙的书将改变你的想法。”——《泰晤士报》

Uncle Tungsten radiates all the delight and wonder of a boy's adventures, and is an unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary young mind. Oliver Sacks evokes, with warmth and wit, his upbringing in wartime England. He tells of the large science-steeped family who fostered his early fascination with chemistry.

There follow his years at boarding school where, though unhappy, he developed the intellectual curiosity that would shape his later life. And we hear of his return to London, an emotionally bereft ten-year-old who found solace in his passion for learning. 'If you did not think that gallium and iridium could move you, this superb book will change your mind' - The Times

作者简介

奥利弗-萨克斯1933年出生于伦敦，曾就读于牛津大学皇后学院。他在旧金山锡安山医院和加州大学洛杉矶分校完成了医学培训，之后搬到纽约，在那里他很快遇到了他在《觉醒》一书中提到的病人。

萨克斯医生作为一名神经科医生工作了近50年，写了许多书，包括《把妻子误认为帽子的人》（The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat）、《嗜乐症》（Musicophilia）和《幻觉》（Hallucinations），讲述了他的病人的奇特神经困境和病症。纽约时报》称他为 "医学界的桂冠诗人"，多年来他获得了许多奖项，包括古根海姆基金会、美国国家科学基金会、美国艺术与文学学会和英国皇家内科医学院授予的荣誉。2008年，他被任命为大英帝国司令。他的回忆录《On the Move》于2015年8月去世前不久出版。

Oliver Sacks was born in 1933 in London and was educated at Queen's College, Oxford. He completed his medical training at San Francisco's Mount Zion Hospital and at UCLA before moving to New York, where he soon encountered the patients whom he would write about in his book Awakenings.

Dr Sacks spent almost fifty years working as a neurologist and wrote many books, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia, and Hallucinations, about the strange neurological predicaments and conditions of his patients. The New York Times referred to him as 'the poet laureate of medicine', and over the years he received many awards, including honours from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Royal College of Physicians. In 2008, he was appointed Commander of the British Empire. His memoir, On the Move, was published shortly before his death in August 2015.
