THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NBC SERIES BRILLIANT MINDS • From the bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat • Fascinating portraits of neurological disorder in which men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality. Here are seven detailed narratives of neurological patients, including a surgeon consumed by the compulsive tics of Tourette's syndrome unless he is operating; an artist who loses all sense of color in a car accident, but finds a new sensibility and creative power in black and white; and an autistic professor who cannot decipher the simplest social exchange between humans, but has built a career out of her intuitive understanding of animal behavior. Sacks combines the well honed mind of an academician with the verve of a true storyteller.

Hillary Rodham Clinton es por derecho propio uno de los personajes más importantes de la política estadounidense. Ex primera dama y actual senadora por Nueva York, nos cuenta en su biografía los apasionantes ocho años que pasó en la Casa Blanca junto a Bill Clinton, sin ocultar los malos momentos, como el caso Whitewater, la investigación del Fiscal Kenneth Starr o los escándalos de Paula Jones y Monica Lewinsky.
