Book Description

From bestselling author of Gratitude and On the Move, the latest volume of essays presenting a wide range of Sachs' interests--from his passion for ferns, swimming, and horsetails, to recent case history to an exploration of schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer's. Oliver Sacks, the famous scientist and storyteller, is beloved by readers for his history of nervousness, his fascination and his familiarity with human behavior in its most unexpected and unfamiliar states. All in Place is a celebration of Sachs' myriad interests, all told with his distinctive sympathy, erudition and brilliant prose. From the history of the famous case of Spalding Gray that appeared in The New Yorker four months before his death to Meditations in Asylums; From Insightful Accounts of Schizophrenia to Reminiscences of Robin Williams; From the captivating tale of a medical colleague who fell victim to Alzheimer's disease to the cinematography of Michael Powell, this volume celebrates and reflects the surprising curiosity of Oliver Sacks.
