Everything In Its Place: First Loves And Last Tales

Since his death in 2015, Oliver Sacks, scientist and storyteller, continues to enrich the world of science and literature with his fascinating and probing examination of the human brain. Everything In Its Place, the second work of his to be published posthumously and his final volume of essays, yet again showcases Sack's enduring and unparalleled ability to enthrall his reader with his distinctively curious mind. 

Beloved by readers 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 much more personal reflection on this myriad interests Sacks enjoyed in his lifetime - from his passion for ferns, swimming and cuttlefish, to his case histories exploring schizophrenia, dementia and Alzheimer's.

A celebration of Sacks himself as well as an astonishing glimpse into the mind of a man who has long been fascinated by the world around him and continues to fascinate his readers, Everything In Its Place is explored with Sack's characteristic compassion and told with erudition in his enduringly luminous prose.
