OLIVER SACKS
Oaxaca Journal
2002
"The best-selling author of Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,
Oliver Sacks is well know as an explorer of the human mind—a
neurologist with a gift for complex, insightful portrayals of people and
their conditions. However, he is also a card-carrying member of the
American Fern Society, and since childhood has been fascinated by these
primitive plants and their ability to survive and adapt in many
climates.
Oaxaca Journal is Sacks's spellbinding account
of his trip with a group of fellow fern enthusiasts to the beautiful,
history-steeped province of Oaxaca, Mexico. Bringing together Sacks's
passion for natural history and the richness of human culture with his
sharp eye for detail, Oaxaca Journal is a captivating evocation of a place, its plants, its people, and its myriad wonders".
