Beloved by readers for his neurological case histories and his fascination and familiarity with human behaviour at its most unexpected and unfamiliar, Everything in Its Place is a personal reflection of the myriad interests Oliver Sacks enjoyed in his lifetime - from his passion for ferns, swimming and cuttlefish, to his case histories exploring schizophrenia, dementia and Alzheimer's.

A celebration of Sacks himself as well as an astonishing glimpse into the mind of a man who has long been fascinated by the world around him and continues to fascinate his readers, Everything in Its Place, the second work of his to be published posthumously, is explored with Sacks's characteristic compassion and told with erudition in his enduringly luminous prose.
