Uncle Tungsten radiates all the delight and wonder of a boy's
adventures, and is an unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary
young mind. Oliver Sacks evokes, with warmth and wit, his
upbringing in wartime England. He tells of the large
science-steeped family who fostered his early fascination with
chemistry. There follow his years at boarding school where, though
unhappy, he developed the intellectual curiosity that would shape
his later life. And we hear of his return to London, an emotionally
bereft ten-year-old who found solace in his passion for learning.
'If you did not think that gallium and iridium could move you, this
superb book will change your mind' - The Times
