When three-month-old Lia Lee arrived at the county hospital emergency room in Merced, California, a chain of events was set in motion from which neither she nor her parents nor her doctors would ever recover.

The Inner Level now explains how inequality affects us individually, how it alters how we think, feel and behave. It sets out the overwhelming evidence that material inequalities have powerful psychological effects: when the gap between rich and poor increases, so does the tendency to define and value ourselves and others in terms of superiority and inferiority.

In A Leg to Stand On, it is Sacks himself who is the patient: an encounter with a bull on a desolate mountain in Norway has left him with a severely damaged leg. But what should be a routine recuperation is actually the beginning of a strange medical journey.

In Seeing Voices, Oliver Sacks turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect - a minority with its own rich, sometimes astonishing, culture and unique visual language, an extraordinary mode of communication that tells us much about the basis of language in hearing people as well.

Un simple virus ha desbaratado a la sociedad mundial como nunca logró hacerlo, en profundidad y extensión, ningún arma premeditada. El coronavirus ha sido una enmienda a la totalidad de un sistema que despreció cuanto era valioso y hasta indispensable para el bien común, en aras del lucro de unos pocos. Era la sanidad pública la que se ocupaba de nuestra salud y había sido diezmada por las políticas neoliberales. Era, es, la gente corriente la que sustenta los países, especialmente en las situaciones más comprometidas.
