Product Information
From the best-selling author of Gratitude, On the Move, and Musicophilia, a collection of essays that displays Oliver Sacks's passionate engagement with the most compelling and seminal ideas of human endeavor: evolution, creativity, memory, time, consciousness, and experience. Oliver Sacks, a scientist and a storyteller, is beloved by readers for the extraordinary neurological case histories ( Awakenings, An Anthropologist on Mars ) in which he introduced and explored many now familiar disorders--autism, Tourette's syndrome, face blindness, savant syndrome. He was also a memoirist who wrote with honesty and humor about the remarkable and strange encounters and experiences that shaped him ( Uncle Tungsten, On the Move, Gratitude ). Sacks, an Oxford-educated polymath, had a deep familiarity not only with literature and medicine but with botany, animal anatomy, chemistry, the history of science, philosophy, and psychology. The River of Consciousness is one of two books Sacks was working on up to his death, and it reveals his ability to make unexpected connections, his sheer joy in knowledge, and his unceasing, timeless project to understand what makes us human.

Reviews
"The author's unconventional points of view are potentially the most informative part of the work. He examines well-known ideas from lesser-known angles--for instance, that Darwin was also a botanist and supported his theory with botanical experimentation. Throughout, Sacks displays his marvelous skill with words, rich knowledge of medicine and science and their histories, observational skills, curiosity, and humor, and it's impossible not to feel the loss of this amazing thinker....Every reader should be able to find something to enjoy and appreciate here." --Library Journal *starred review* "Sacks engages and deepens our attention through the historic and personal particulars with which he argues his points about what, say, memory, or forgetting, or creativity, or 'A General Feeling of Disorder,' involves organismically. So doing, he has made permanent contributions to literature." --Booklist "The book is a tribute to [Sacks's] appreciation of all that's beautifully complex in humans....Readers will feel a similar sense of gratitude for the extraordinary work that Sacks left behind." --Publishers Weekly "An incisive and generous inquiry into human nature." --Elle.com "Sacks's sharp intellect and observations, and passion for knowledge, shine through." --Buzzfeed "Fans of the late neurologist have another chance to enjoy this erudite, compassionate storyteller, essayist, and memoirist in what may be his final work. This collection of 10 essays, some of which appeared previously in the New York Review of Books , was assembled by three colleagues from an outline provided by Sacks two weeks before his death in 2015....A collection of dissimilar pieces that reveal the scope of the author's interests--sometimes challenging, always rewarding." -- Kirkus Reviews, "The author''s unconventional points of view are potentially the most informative part of the work.

Pebbles shift as the water courses by, revealing unexpected facets below....By bringing these quirky, personal and curious essays together, Sacks invites readers into his mind where they can experience the world from his unusually insightful perspective." --Science News Magazine "An incisive and generous inquiry into human nature." --Elle.com "Sacks''s sharp intellect and observations, and passion for knowledge, shine through." --Buzzfeed "Fans of the late neurologist have another chance to enjoy this erudite, compassionate storyteller, essayist, and memoirist in what may be his final work.

Thoughtful and captivating, this collection will make you miss the iconic scholar even more than you already do." -- bustle.com, "11 New Essays For Your Fireside Reading This Fall" "Brilliant, beautiful, and funny....Sacks was one of the finest science writers--well read, scientifically exact and literary....This collection meets the standard of his previous work....Sacks''s love of the natural world as well as the human one is contagious. The breadth of his interests encourages his readers to expand their own horizons....His curiosity and erudition, and his joy in both intellectual and physical life are in full bloom on these pages." --Shelf Awareness "Sacks continues in this latest collection to focus on questions over answers; the result is a work that leaves plenty of room for possibility beyond what might be immediately observed.... Intellectually, Sacks is, at heart, a philosopher. But he is a philosopher looking not for answers but for increasingly grander questions. He asked a multitude of them throughout his 82 years, but ''what is a mind?'' might be his biggest." --New York Magazine, "Fans of the late neurologist have another chance to enjoy this erudite, compassionate storyteller, essayist, and memoirist in what may be his final work. This collection of 10 essays, some of which appeared previously in the New York Review of Books , was assembled by three colleagues from an outline provided by Sacks two weeks before his death in 2015....A collection of dissimilar pieces that reveal the scope of the author's interests--sometimes challenging, always rewarding." -- Kirkus Reviews
