This book "Migraine" is about An investigation of the many manifestations of migraine, including the visual hallucinations and distortions of space, time and body image which migraineurs can experience. I like this cover as it is an illustration which looks hand drawn. I think it shows how it feels to have a migraine.
I really like the cover of this book "The Mind's Eye" as it gives the idea of an eye test chart and blurs out some letters making you feel like you can not read it. This is strangely appropriate, though, because The Mind’s Eye is a personal book. Although there are four patients through whom we learn about alexia, aphasia, and stereoscopy (Sue, a neurobiologist, has the three-dimensionality of our world revealed to her in her fifties), the main character is Dr. Sacks himself. We observe his diligent diagnostic procedure and delight in his research tangents; we follow him through his clinical experience and into the swimming pool. But it is when Dr. Sacks himself becomes the patient that The Mind’s Eye separates itself from its ten sibling books.
