Book Synopsis The River of Consciousness by : Oliver Sacks
Download or read book The River of Consciousness written by Oliver Sacks. This book was released on 2017-10-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the best-selling author of Gratitude, On the Move, and Musicophilia, a collection of essays that displays Oliver Sacks's passionate engagement with the most compelling and seminal ideas of human endeavor: evolution, creativity, memory, time, consciousness, and experience. Oliver Sacks, a scientist and a storyteller, is beloved by readers for the extraordinary neurological case histories (Awakenings, An Anthropologist on Mars) in which he introduced and explored many now familiar disorders--autism, Tourette's syndrome, face blindness, savant syndrome. He was also a memoirist who wrote with honesty and humor about the remarkable and strange encounters and experiences that shaped him (Uncle Tungsten, On the Move, Gratitude). Sacks, an Oxford-educated polymath, had a deep familiarity not only with literature and medicine but with botany, animal anatomy, chemistry, the history of science, philosophy, and psychology. The River of Consciousness is one of two books Sacks was working on up to his death, and it reveals his ability to make unexpected connections, his sheer joy in knowledge, and his unceasing, timeless project to understand what makes us human.

Book excerpt: "A vibrant and truly beautiful picture book... in which nature is personified and can shine in all its magnificence. Aisato and Njie's combined artistic expression calls forth both nature's and life's power and vulnerability, united in something so natural and wondrous as sleep. I am absolutely certain that this both sensual and hypnotic picture book will become a favorite for thousands of children." --Dagsavisen (Norway) Children sleep. Grown-ups sleep. Animals sleep. And the seasons of the year sleep too. Soon You'll Be Sleeping is a goodnight book about nature's seasons as they sleep and awaken, sleep and awaken through the year. Children listening and reading will be lulled by the rhymes and the whimsical pictures of nature's dreamy beauty. Spring sleeps in wintertime, beneath the frozen snow, Among the roots and seeds and tiny things that grow. Spring dreams of bugs and spiders creeping on the grass Of tadpoles swiftly swimming and buds that open fast. Of bees that flit from bloom to bloom, all day without a pause, Of ladybugs and brooks that babble as the cold ice thaws. Spring is up and leaping now, so happy in the sun. The world has come alive, the transformation has begun. Spring wakes up after winter. This is always true. But in the springtime summer sleeps. Soon you'll be sleeping too. Soon You'll Be Sleeping has been lauded by Norway's press for its wonderfully rendered illustrations and the lyrical beauty of the text, which link the memories and experiences of each season. It's a shimmering goodnight book for all sleepyheads.
