From the bestselling author of On Gratitude, On the Move and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.In this spirited volume, neurologist Oliver Sacks examines the many passions of his own life &ndash both as a doctor engaged with the central questions of human existence, and as a polymath conversant in all the sciences. Why do humans need gardens? How, and when, does a physician tell his patient she has Alzheimer&rsquos? What is social media doing to our brains?In several of the compassionate case histories collected here, Sacks considers for the first time the enigmas of depression, psychosis and schizophrenia, and in others he returns to conditions that have long fascinated him Tourette&rsquos syndrome, ageing, dementia and hallucinations. In counterpoint to these elegant investigations of what makes us human, this volume also includes pieces that celebrate Sacks&rsquos love of the natural world &ndash and his last meditations on life in the twentyfirst century. Everything in Its Place gives us an intimate portrait of a master writer and thinker at work.&lsquoLife bursts through all of Oliver Sacks&rsquos writing. He was and will remain a brilliant singularity&rsquo &ndash The New York Times Book ReviewNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
