Oliver Sacks
From the best-selling author of Gratitude and On the Move, a final volume of essays that showcase Sacks's broad range of interests - from his passion for ferns, swimming, and horsetails, to his final case histories exploring schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer's.
Oliver Sacks, scientist and storyteller, is beloved for his neurological case histories and his fascination and familiarity with human behavior at its most unexpected and unfamiliar. Everything in Its Place is a celebration of Sacks' myriad interests, told with his characteristic compassion and erudition, and in his luminous prose.
Includes a PDF with the bibliography, permission and acknowledgements, and a note about the author.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews
“In this lovely collection of previously unpublished essays, the late, celebrated author and neurologist muses on his career, his youth, the mental health field and much more.... Sacks’s gentle, ruminative voice is a slave when investigating difficult subject matter but there are plenty of lighter moments as well...[this] final collection is a treat for the chronically curious.” (Publisher’s Weekly)
“Extraordinarily touching - not lacking in his habitual energy and driven curiosity, but somehow vulnerable, even fragile.... [He was] an unusual boy, one who had, as he puts it, an 'overwhelming sense of Truth and Beauty'...and it becomes increasingly clear that Sacks was that boy to the very end of his days, engaging, eagerly and with a never-ending sense of wonder, not only with science but with its history and the people who made it.... Our best chance for the future, we may feel, is that there may be others among us like this uncommon, passionate, and enlightened man.” (Simon Callow, The New York Review of Books)
“Sacks further secures his legacy with this most recent collection of his work.... The Shakespeare of science writing might suffice, but Sacks ultimately defies comparison to bygone or even contemporary authors. As readers we can rejoice that, while cancer may have claimed his body, his voice continues to ring out.” (The Scientist)
