Michael Paul Mason is one of an elite group of experts who coordinate care in the complicated aftermath of tragic injuries that can last a lifetime. On the road with Mason, we encounter survivors of brain injuries as they struggle to map and make sense of the new worlds they inhabit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnderlying each of these survivors' stories is an exploration of the brain and its mysteries. When injured, the brain must figure out how to heal itself, reorganizing its physiology in order to do the job. Mason gives us a series of vivid glimpses into brain science, the last frontier of medicine, and we come away in awe of the miracles of the brain's workings and astonished at the fragility of the brain and the sense of self, life, and order that resides there. \u003ci\u003eHead Cases \u003c\/i\u003e\"[achieves] through sympathy and curiosity insight like that which pulses through genuine literature\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Sun\u003c\/i\u003e); it is at once illuminating and deeply affecting.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMICHAEL MASON (born 1971) is a brain injury case manager based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 28, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51762297536800,"sku":"9780374531959","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7984afea91b61bf901e5fe4385bfa37b.webp?v=1780218944","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/head-cases-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
