Why do humans need gardens? How, and when, does a physician tell his patient she has Alzheimer’s? What is social media doing to our brains?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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’s syndrome, ageing, dementia and hallucinations. In counterpoint to these elegant investigations of what makes us human, this volume also includes pieces that celebrate Sacks’s love of the natural world – and his last meditations on life in the twenty-first century. \u003ci\u003eEverything in Its Place\u003c\/i\u003e gives us an intimate portrait of a master writer and thinker at work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e‘Life bursts through all of Oliver Sacks’s writing.
