Everything in Its Place: First Loves and Last Tales

　　紐約時報譽為─醫學界的桂冠詩人



　　《睡人》、《火星上的人類學家》、《錯把太太當帽子的人》腦神經科學家奧利佛‧薩克斯Oliver Sacks，給世界最後的散文集贈禮



　　奧利佛‧薩克斯自2015年逝世後，數年來除了讓人們依然想念，懷念其生動而充滿故事性的案例敘事，將人們帶入腦科學的瑰麗世界，也恆久追憶作為目前已罕少的博物學者，他對於世界上不論最平凡或最獨特的事物，都同樣熱切的好奇心。



　　繼2017年，薩克斯生前最後叮囑親友，依其規劃付梓出版的《The River of Consciousness意識之川流》。在蒐集他遺留下來的文稿，重新整理，如今讓所有喜愛他的讀者們，有機會得以再一次親近大師的智性宇宙，以及他多元豐富的興趣──對蕨類植物的著迷、游泳、植物的維管束運作…以及深入神經意識，對精神分裂、失智與阿茲海默案例的探索。邀請讀者最後一次優游在他詩意如光的文字，照亮每一個好奇的靈魂。（文/博客來編譯）

From the best-selling author of Gratitude and On the Move, a final volume of essays that showcase Sacks's broad range of interests--from his passion for ferns, swimming, and horsetails, to his final case histories exploring schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer's.

Oliver Sacks, scientist and storyteller, is 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 celebration of Sacks's myriad interests, told with his characteristic compassion and erudition, and in his luminous prose.

Author

　　Dr. Oliver Sacks spent more than fifty years working as a neurologist and writing books about the neurological predicaments and conditions of his patients, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia, and Hallucinations. The New York Times referred to him as "the poet laureate of medicine," and over the years he received many awards, including honors from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and the Royal College of Physicians. His memoir On the Move was published shortly before his death in August 2015.
