Awakenings
Oliver Sacks
Awakenings--which inspired the major motion picture--is the remarkable story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I. Frozen for decades in a trance-like state, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, "awakening" effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients, their lives, and the extraordinary transformations which went with their reintroduction to a changed world.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Oliver SacksPublisher: VintagePublished: 10/05/1999ISBN: 9780375704055Pages: 464Weight: 0.95lbsSize: 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.90dReview Citations: People Weekly 09/14/2015 pg. 50
