Resumen del editor

The best-selling author of Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, 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. 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.

Reseñas de la crítica

"[The book] is light and fast-moving, unburdened by library research but filled with erudition.... Among the botanical and anthropological observations, one catches glimpses of Sacks's inner life: his preoccupation with dualities, his nearly Victorian sense of modesty, his fascination with the world around him." (The New Yorker)

wonderful small adventure journal

I have "red" (mostly listened) several books of Oliver Sacks with great enjoyement. And when i found this little one and with not reviews yet i was very curious to see what it is inside.
It is very easy to go through and as always with Sacks it provides so much knowledge and fun at the same time. Im interested in the natural world but i coulnt make it to study botany or biology, so this kind of books are very pleasant to me as i learn and discover about animals and plants and cultures from other parts of the world. I recomend it heartly to everyone. The reader makes also a great job, it feels is the author telling you all this stories life as he will be a friend of yours
