Onkel Patrick muss für ein paar Tage verreisen, und so zieht Auru mit seiner Familie in die Galeone, damit Yann und Marina nicht allein bleiben müssen. Sehr zum Missfallen von Yann.

It is the near-future, and drug resistance has taken hold. Antibiotics are no longer available, and in the war between humanity and bacteria, one little girl is in the front line.... 10-year-old Sarah is not allowed to play outside. But one day, she and her brother break the rules and go into the nearby woods, where she scratches her knee. The wound gets infected, and soon becomes life-threatening. Now Sarah’s in a coma, in an isolated room in hospital. Her family and medical team are hoping this will stop the infection - but they’re running out of time.

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 their extraordinary transformations.

This audiobook will walk us through initial simple two party negotiations to multi-party negotiations, disputes, and mediation. These are basic principles taught in business school, in management seminars, and in leadership programs. Many of the principles are derived from countless books on the subject matter that were prolific in the 1980s and 1990s, and some as far back as the turn of the 20th century. You should be able to listen through this in one day, but make sure to bookmark the sections that you want to come back to, and come back to them often.

Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas...

Oliver Sacks siempre se ha sentido atraído por las islas, esos "experimentos de la naturaleza, lugares benditos y malditos por su singularidad geográfica, que albergan formas de vida únicas". En su última obra, esta fascinación le lleva más lejos que nunca, a las remotas islas del Pacífico, donde concilia su afición a explorar el mundo real con su pasión por investigar el mundo de la mente. En esta ocasión abandona transitoriamente a los individuos y con herramientas no sólo de neurólogo sino también de antropólogo...

Dr. Oliver Sacks argues the migraine cannot be understood simply as an illness, but must be viewed as a complex condition with a unique role to play in each individual's life.

Un giorno, a New York, Oliver Sacks partecipa all'incontro organizzato da un batterista con una trentina di persone affette dalla sindrome di Tourette. Poi il batterista inizia a suonare, e tutti in cerchio lo seguono con i loro tamburi: come per incanto i tic scompaiono, e il gruppo si fonde in una perfetta sincronia ritmica. Presentando questo e molti altri casi con la consueta capacità di immedesimazione, Sacks esplora la "straordinaria forza neurale" della musica e i suoi nessi con le funzioni e disfunzioni del cervello.

Considerado uno de los grandes escritores clínicos del siglo, Oliver Sacks nos presenta en su último libro siete casos neurológicos que constituyen una profunda reflexión sobre la esencia de la identidad y los mecanismos del conocimiento. Un pintor que tras un accidente de coche deja de ver el color; un cirujano cuyos continuos tics y compulsiones sólo remiten cuando opera o pilota su aeroplano; un hombre que tras toda una vida de ceguera recupera la vista sólo para darse cuenta de que no sabe ver.

Fra il 1917 e il 1927, una grave epidemia di encefalite letargica (malattia del sonno) colpì quasi cinque milioni di persone. Una minuscola frazione dei malati sopravvisse, in una sorta di perpetuo torpore, fino al 1969, quando un nuovo farmaco, la L-dopa, permise di "risvegliarli". Oliver Sacks, fra il 1969 e il 1972, somministrò questo farmaco a più di duecento malati al Mount Carmel Hospital di New York. "Risvegli" racconta le storie di venti di loro.

"El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero" se convirtió inmediatamente en un clásico y consagró a Oliver Sacks como "uno de los grandes escritores clínicos del siglo" (The New York Times). En este audiolibro, Oliver Sacks narra veinte historiales médicos de pacientes perdidos en el mundo extraño y aparentemente irremediable de las enfermedades neurológicas. Se trata de casos de individuos, aquejados por inauditas aberraciones de la percepción que han perdido la memoria, y con ella, la mayor parte de su pasado.

Oliver Sacks is well known 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' spellbinding account of his trip with a group of fellow fern enthusiasts to the beautiful, history-steeped province of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Dr. Oliver Sacks's books Awakenings, An Anthropologist on Mars and the best-selling The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat have been acclaimed for their compassion in the treatment of patients affected with profound disorders. In A Leg to Stand On, it is Sacks himself who is the patient: an encounter with a bull on a desolate mountain in Norway has left him with a severely damaged leg. But what should be a routine recuperation is actually the beginning of a strange medical journey.

Una serie di casi clinici che ha lo stesso fascino delle Mille e una notte. Con straordinaria empatia e umanità, Sacks racconta le strane storie di pazienti neurologici che hanno perduto un pezzo della loro vita o una parte costitutiva del sé. Come il musicista che carezza distrattamente gli idranti credendo che siano teste di bambini. O il marinaio che è convinto di vivere nel 1945. Il viaggio di un nuotatore "in acque sconosciute, dove può accadere di dover capovolgere le solite considerazioni, dove la malattia può essere benessere e la normalità malattia."
