With Seeing Voices Dr Sacks launches us on a journey into the world of the deaf - which he explores with the same passion and insight that have illuminated other human conditions for his readers everywhere. `Oliver Sacks, blessed with an understanding heart and poetic voice, speaks the language of the deaf. An exquisite, as well as revelatory, work' Studs Terkel `This scholarly and carefully documented book is a landmark for deaf rights. It makes the gigantic, imaginative leap so essential to understanding total deafness' Jack Ashley, Sunday Telegraph `Compelling . . . A journey well worth taking . . . One cannot read more than a few pages of Sacks without seeing something in a new way' Los Angeles Times `Written by a hearing - and caring - neurologist who through empathy and contact has penetrated a long way into deaf culture. What he has written about should be compulsory reading - I do not recall another book which puts the issues so clearly for the rest of us' Alex Comfort, Guardian `A manifesto characteristically humane and impassioned . . . Once more Sacks proves he is the doyen of science with a human face' Roy Porter, Sunday Times

i really did enjoy this book...i am at the beginning stages of my Deaf culture studies...i was recommended this book by my professor and i would recommended it to anyone who is interested in the Deaf culture and history of the community...even if you are not studying the Deaf community it is a very interesting read and it might bring you into a world in which you want to learn more about...peace
