British neurologist Oliver Sacks, who wrote famous "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" and "An Anthropologist on Mars", brings up his memories of Russian neuropsychologist Alexander Luria, a distinguished student of Lev Vygodsky. Luria's most known book is "The Mind of a Mnemonist", a case study of a person with seemingly unlimited memory. Another well-known book entitled "The Man with a Shattered World" is a penetrating account of a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury during WWII.
