With an introduction by neuroscientist Daniel Glaser. With his trademark compassion and erudition, Dr Oliver Sacks examines the power of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people. Among them: a surgeon who is struck by lightning and suddenly becomes obsessed with Chopin; people with ‘amusia’, to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of poets and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds – for everything but music. Dr Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson’s disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people who are deeply disoriented by Alzheimer’s or schizophrenia. Musicophilia alters our conception of who we are and how we function, and shows us an essential part of what it is to be human.

For 1700 years, cathedrals have embodied the glory of God while serving as a physical representation of the power of the church and its leaders. The image of these utterly magnificent buildings with their high quality furnishings and works of art has proved so enduring that expressions such as a "sports cathedral" to describe a stadium or "cathedral of money" for a stock exchange are freely used today. By definition, a cathedral is the seat of a bishop, literally his kathedra, or throne. And as such it is worthy of the very best that the combination of design, décor and fine materials can produce. The big European cathedrals set the standard for all that came after them. The Episcopal churches of northern France gave birth to Gothic architecture, just as the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela had served as a model for the Romanesque style, and Florence Cathedral brought the Renaissance to the very threshold of the modern age. Additional important churches are included along with this panorama of cathedral architecture to provide a more comprehensive overview of sacred architecture. In total 240 magnificent buildings are represented here in outstanding photographs and detailed text, providing a impressive survey of the history of sacred Christian architecture from the medieval period to modern times.

In the hierarchy of the Christian Church, a cathedral is the seat of a bishopric. They are important centers of religious activity, as well as the venue of social functions and celebrations. Often because of their size and architectural magnificence, cathedrals are amongst the most imposing buildings in many cities and towns. They tower over their surroundings, forming major landmarks. Many of these edifices, some dating back to early medieval times, have been well preserved or restored, and are repositories of the cultural heritage of a region, including precious treasures and works of art. This book documents 100 of the world¿s most interesting cathedrals, in a pithy, uncomplicated format. The buildings have been chosen from across the world ¿ from Europe, the heartland of Christianity, as well as other continents, where the religion spread and thrived. The diverse selection covers monuments from a host of design genres, like the Romanesque Santiago de Compostela in Spain and Paris¿s Gothic Notre Dame, as well as regional styles. In scale and grandeur, they range from Cologne Cathedral in Germany to the small but impressive Wells Cathedral in England. Buildings belonging to various Christian denominations are included. Besides those founded in antiquity, the book features relatively recent establishments like the yet unfinished St John the Divine. Each building is placed in context with an introduction, and is a followed by a short timeline with key dates, names of associated personalities, including builders, religious figures and others. Striking color images complement the text.
