Story
In The River of Consciousness, Dr. Sacks takes on evolution, botany, chemistry, medicine, neuroscience and the arts and calls upon his great scientific and creative heroes - above all, Darwin, Freud and William James. For Sacks these thinkers were constant companions from an early age; the questions they explored - the meaning of evolution, the roots of creativity and the nature of consciousness - lie at the heart of science and of this audiobook.

Story
In 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 21st century. Everything in Its Place gives us an intimate portrait of a master writer and thinker at work.

Story
Nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time. We're obsessed by our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place, thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of how best to use our 4,000 weeks. Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of this problem.

Story
Un giorno, a New York, Oliver Sacks partecipa all'incontro organizzato da un batterista con una trentina di persone affette dalla sindrome di Tourette. Poi il batterista inizia a suonare, e tutti in cerchio lo seguono con i loro tamburi: come per incanto i tic scompaiono, e il gruppo si fonde in una perfetta sincronia ritmica. Presentando questo e molti altri casi con la consueta capacità di immedesimazione, Sacks esplora la "straordinaria forza neurale" della musica e i suoi nessi con le funzioni e disfunzioni del cervello.

Story
De la mano del Dr. Oliver Wolf Sacks [1933-2015], este canal se quiere pasear por la neurociencia como marco en donde poder aprender, reflexionar y discutir de aprendizaje, sufrimiento, discapacidad, disfrute, compasión, arte... en definitiva, de lo que parece ser que nos hace humanos, y seguro, animales. Oilver Sacks fue médico neurólogo, profesor y autor; murió a la edad del plomo, con 82 años y firmaba con los tres elementos de la tabla periódica que conforman su nombre: el Oxígeno, el Wolframio y el Azufre (O.W.S.). Este canal es un homenaje al científico compasivo en ...

Story
"El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero" se convirtió inmediatamente en un clásico y consagró a Oliver Sacks como "uno de los grandes escritores clínicos del siglo" (The New York Times). En este audiolibro, Oliver Sacks narra veinte historiales médicos de pacientes perdidos en el mundo extraño y aparentemente irremediable de las enfermedades neurológicas. Se trata de casos de individuos, aquejados por inauditas aberraciones de la percepción que han perdido la memoria, y con ella, la mayor parte de su pasado.

Story
Oliver Sacks widmet sich in seinem neuen Werk dem Zusammenhang von visueller Wahrnehmung und Bewusstsein. Es gelingt ihm wieder, komplexe Dinge verständlich zu beschreiben. Das Außergewöhnliche: Sacks schildert, wie er selbst 2005 an einem bösartigen Tumor im Auge erkrankte. Er berichtet vom Leben mit dem Krebs und dem Verlust seiner visuellen Fähigkeiten. Doch er entdeckt auch "positive" Phänomene: milde Illusion, Halluzinationen, Veränderungen in der Wahrnehmung von Farben und Umrissen.

Story
Oliver Sacks siempre se ha sentido atraído por las islas, esos "experimentos de la naturaleza, lugares benditos y malditos por su singularidad geográfica, que albergan formas de vida únicas". En su última obra, esta fascinación le lleva más lejos que nunca, a las remotas islas del Pacífico, donde concilia su afición a explorar el mundo real con su pasión por investigar el mundo de la mente. En esta ocasión abandona transitoriamente a los individuos y con herramientas no sólo de neurólogo sino también de antropólogo...
