Oliver Sacks' Briefe sind brillant, offen, intim - sie liefern einen einmaligen Einblick in die schillernde Gedankenwelt des gefeierten Neurologen und in die Anfänge der modernen Neurowissenschaften. Oliver Sacks ist ein 'Man of Letters'. Ein Literat, ein Erzähler, ein Autor. Aber er ist es auch ganz wörtlich: ein Mann, der viele Briefe geschrieben hat, an ganz unterschiedliche Menschen. Darunter Wissenschaftler, Künstler, Schriftsteller und sogar Staatsmänner: Francis Crick, Antonio Damasio, Jane Goodall, W. H. Auden, Susan Sontag, Stephen Jay Gould, Björk und sein Cousin ersten Grades, Abba Eban. Viele der eindrucksvollsten Briefe in dieser Sammlung sind jedoch an die Menschen gerichtet, die ihm von ihren erstaunlichen Symptomen berichtet haben und denen er stets mit einem Gefühl der Großzügigkeit und des Staunens antwortete. Durch die Augen von Oliver Sacks sehen wir die Anfänge der modernen Neurowissenschaften und folgen den Gedankengängen eines der großen Intellektuellen unserer Zeit, dessen Sicht auf das Leben und seine Patienten stets von überbordender Neugierde und Nächstenliebe geprägt war.

Muslim Folktales of a Wise but Silly Teacher
Format: Hardcover
Reason for Reading: I love legends, folklore and the like. This was an area completely unknown to me so I was intrigued to read these tales. These stories come from Turkey and are Muslim tales of a wise man, a trickster and a fool all wrapped up in the same person. Hoji is a Muslim teacher, some respect him others don't. Historically, Nasrudin Hoja (who goes by a host of different spellings) is considered an actual man who may have lived in the 1200s, his funny tales with messages have been handed down and built upon all over the middle east and across Asia, even reaching as far as China. But this book sticks with the tales told in Turkey, centered on the then village of Aksehir. There are ten folktales presented here, each is short (only a few pages long) and Hoji while being a wise man is really very silly indeed. Children should find these stories humorous and laugh at the solutions Hoji comes up with to his, or others, troubles. He is always fair and stuck-up people will get pulled back down to reality. Hoji is a winner for the common folk and isn't afraid to take on a man of much greater status than himself. Hoji is also a trickster and likes to cause a little trouble by bringing someone back down to earth and showing him he is not above other people just because he has money or position. Then there is Hoji the fool, who will listens to what people tell him and in the end it is he who has been made a fool of, but still a lesson is being taught. Most of the stories have a lesson attached to them though they are not always blatantly obvious and do require you to think what the message of the story is. A couple, I think were just silly stories, as I could not find a message hidden in them at all. The book is told in simple language and as I said the stories are short so I'm recommending this for lower elementary children or as a read-aloud to younger children of any age. The illustrations are beautiful. Capturing the art of Turkish design in bold, bright cartoon-ish style pictures which seem to be done in a mixed-media format and, if I'm not mistaken, that includes a tad of collage as well. This is a fun introduction to a new cultural folktale that kids are sure to have fun with.

This book is so cute
Format: Hardcover
I absolutely love this book series about the squirrel, discovering different seasons and aspect of change of nature. Is just enough sassiness and educational material that my child is interested in this story. The illustrations are very vivid and bright. Highly recommend any book in this series.
