The River of Consciousness is a remarkable culmination of a lifetime's research into the way the brain works by the celebrated late neurologist Oliver Sacks.
Oliver Sacks was born in 1933 in London and was educated at Queen's
College, Oxford. He completed his medical training at San
Francisco's Mount Zion Hospital and at UCLA before moving to New
York, where he soon encountered the patients whom he would write
about in his book Awakenings.
Dr Sacks spent almost fifty years working as a neurologist and
wrote many books, 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.' His memoir, On the Move,
was published shortly before his death in August 2015.
Oliver Sacks has become the world's best-known neurologist. His
case studies of broken minds offer brilliant insight into the
mysteries of consciousness
