EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH in 2015, scientist and storyteller Oliver Sacks continues to enrich the world of science and literature with captivating and insightful studies of the human brain. In this book, Sacks rediscover the rhythm and simplicity that characterize the bestselling The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.

A stunning work of neuropsychology and behavioral neurology, written with the wisdom and simplicity of the late style of great creators, with minimal footnotes, "a book existential and personal, a deeply empathetic insight into the experience and world of each patient."

True clinical literature or "romantic science," as Luria called it, which he introduced before Sacks made it so popular. The author does not hesitate in some of his texts to become autobiographical and lyrical in the wonderful way he described the London Kew Gardens in The Island of the Blind in Colors.

There are constant references to literature – with Beckett, Proust, Dostoevsky – and to philosophy and intellect – with Wittgenstein, Kant, Hobbes, Descartes, Einstein, and others.

Every Thing in Its Place is a much more personal reflection on the endless things that thrilled the author throughout his life: from ferns, swimming, and cuttlefish to case histories exploring schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.

A celebration of human experience and at the same time a dazzling look into a mind permanently fascinated by the world around it, Every Thing in Its Place captivates readers with the characteristic empathy, erudition, and always brilliant writing of Oliver Sacks.
