Description: Cu mult înainte să devină un mare neurolog, Oliver Sacks era un băiețel fascinat de metale, reacții chimice, fotografie, radioactivitate, de poveștile lui H.G. Wells și, mai ales, de tabelul lui Mendeleev. În această fermecătoare carte de amintiri care îi completează memoriile (În mişcare. O viaţă, Humanitas, 2015), Sacks scrie povestea lui de dragoste cu știința și își evocă viața din copilărie în mijlocul unei numeroase familii, ale cărei personaje principale sunt o mamă chirurg, un tată medic de familie și, firește, unchiul Tungsten, fabricantul de becuri atotştiutor care i-a dezvăluit secretele chimiei.Acest volum nu conţine însă doar amintiri, ci şi o istorie a ştiinţei minunat de simplă şi clară – o istorie a chimiei şi fizicii aşa cum le-a descoperit şi le-a înţeles treptat mintea curioasă și pasionată a unui copil.„Viaţa mea s-a schimbat atunci când am văzut tabelul lui Mendeleev, când l-am «înţeles». L-am copiat în caietul meu de exerciţii şi l-am purtat cu mine peste tot; am ajuns să-l ştiu atât de bine – şi vizual, şi con-ceptual –, încât puteam să-l urmăresc mintal în orice direcţie, urcând într-o grupă, apoi cotind la dreapta într-o perioadă, oprindu-mă, coborând o treaptă, dar ştiind mereu unde mă aflu. Era ca o grădină, ca grădina numerelor pe care o îndrăgisem în copilărie – însă, spre deosebire de ea, era adevărată, era o cheie ce deschidea universul. Am petrecut ore întregi, fermecat, complet absorbit, hoinărind şi descoperind prin grădina fermecată a lui Mendeleev.“ (OLIVER SACKS) We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
