If you haven't read this book or even heard of it, it's time for you to get caught up in great reading. Whether you're a Chamorro, a student of neurology, or someone merely interested in Pacific cultures, this is a must-read. You'll find this book thoroughly fascinating as Sacks delves into various neurological conditions plaguing natives of various Micronesian islands to include coverage of lytico-bodig, a degenerative disease in Guam that includes Parkinson's-like symptoms and is known to be fatal.
