A Will of Its Own
"A Leg to Stand On" is a book documenting proprioceptional difficulties that Dr. Sacks experienced after an unfortunate encounter with a angry bull. This book is particularly revealing to me--it is the first account I read of someone (other than myself) describing their leg as having a "will of its own." Many years ago, I was run over by a taxi while crossing the street as a pedestrian. I still use a cane and I still encounter that "not exactly my own" feelings about my left leg daily.For more book reviews, please visit:[...]
