Beschreibung

<p><b>'Deserves to join Oliver Sacks and Henry Marsh on the list of top popular neuroscience writers'</b> Melanie Reid, <i>The Times</i><br><b>'Beautifully observed, beautifully written . . .' </b>Rory Stewart<br><b>'Intensely moving and awe-inspiring'</b> Marina Hyde<br><b>'A tribute to the spirit of people faced with calamity'</b> <i>Literary Review</i><br><br><b>Every ninety seconds someone is admitted to hospital in the UK with a brain injury. From the woman who thought her arm was a baby, to the man who saw mannequins peering at him through the dark, these are the remarkable stories of resilience and recovery behind the statistics. </b><br><br>As a medical student, Orlando Swayne was taught that a broken brain never mends. But as a junior doctor, he began to meet patients for whom this was clearly not the case: people learning to speak again to the people they love, regaining lost mobility, even using a fork. Delving into the emerging neuroscience of brain reorganisation, he discovered the extraordinary ways that the brain can adapt after injury, and that shattered lives can be rebuilt.<br><br>Irresistible to anyone curious about the mysteries of the brain, <i>How to Use a Fork</i> is a moving and profound journey to the outer reaches of human experience that asks the question: what makes us who we are?</p>
