Music, The Brain and Ecstasy: How Music Captures Our Imagination[/FONT], Robert Jourdain, William Morrow & Co., 1997.

In his newest book now revised and expanded for the paperback edition Dr. Sacks investigates the power of music to move us, to heal and to haunt us. [This leading neurologist also explains how it can assist stroke patients in recovering motor capacities, rewiring synaptic chains, and enabling recall of muscle memory as it certainly did me when a collection of friends gathered together to re-create some of my favorites that I listened to while immobile or resting. It gave my ten versions of "Take Five" a new je ne sais quoi.]
