Books by Oliver Sacks

Oliver Sacks (1933–2015) was a British neurologist and writer who spent most of his career in New York, working with patients at Beth Abraham Hospital and later at the NYU School of Medicine. He wrote fourteen books, including Awakenings, Migraine, and An Anthropologist on Mars, all drawing on clinical cases to explore how the brain shapes experience. His combination of medical precision and literary sympathy made him one of the most widely read science writers of the twentieth century. He was known for his correspondence with patients and his lifelong commitment to treating them as people rather than conditions.
