When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far . It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going . . .From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, as well as with a group of patients who would define his life, it becomes clear that Sacks s earnest desire for engagement has occasioned unexpected encounters and travels â “ sending him through bars and alleys, over oceans, and across continents.With unbridled honesty and humour, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions â “bodybuilding, weightlifting, and swimming â “ also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual, his guilt over leaving his family to come to America, his bond with his schizophrenic brother, and the writers and scientists â “ Thom Gunn, A. R. Luria, W. H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick â “ who influenced him.On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer â “ and of the man who has illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.

V knize esejů Řeka vědomí se její autor, neurolog Oliver Sacks, zabývá tématy z oborů, jako je botanika, chemie, me­dicína, neurověda a umění a obrací se na své velké tvůrčí hrdiny vědy – zejména Darwina, Freuda a Williama Jamese. Byli jeho věrnými druhy od mladých let a značnou část jeho díla lze vnímat jako jakýsi dlouhý rozhovor, který s nimi vedl. otázky, které zkoumali – význam evoluce, kořeny kreativity, podstata vědomí, se nacházejí v samotném středu vědy a této knihy. Oliver Sacks byl stejně jako Darwin bystrým pozorovatelem a velmi rád shromažďoval příklady, z nichž mnohé pocházejí z jeho rozsáhlé korespondence s pacienty a kolegy. Freudovi se zase podobal svou neodbytnou touhou porozumět lidskému chování v jeho nej­záhadnějších rovinách a jeho pozornost podobně jako u Williama Jamese zůstává upřená ke specifičnosti zkušenosti, byť se zabývá náměty teoretické povahy, jako například zkoumáním času, paměti a tvořivosti.Kniha Řeka vědomí, jejíž text Sacks načrtl dva týdny před smrtí, tak prokazuje autorovu jedinečnou schopnost nacházet neočekávatelné spojitosti mezi tématy a skutečnostmi, jeho ryzí radost poznávat a neutuchající snahu porozumět tomu, co nás činí lidmi.

Two weeks before his death, Oliver Sacks outlined the contents of The River of Consciousness, the last book he would oversee . . .The bestselling author of On the Move, Musicophilia, and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Sacks is known for his illuminating case histories about people living with neurological conditions at the far borderlands of human experience. But his grasp of science was not restricted to neuroscience or medicine; he was fascinated by the issues, ideas, and questions of all the sciences. That wide-ranging expertise and passion informs the perspective of this book, in which he interrogates the nature not only of human experience but of all life.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 â “ above all, Darwin, Freud, and William James. For Sacks, these thinkers were constant companions from an early age; the questions they explored â “ the meaning of evolution, the roots of creativity, and the nature of consciousness â “ lie at the heart of science and of this book.

Oliver Sacks je dnes snad nejslavnější neuropsycholog na světě. Jeho „klinické povídky“ nejsou jen nezúčastněné kazuistiky kuriózních případů. Autor v nich totiž popisuje životy, nemoci i odlišnosti svých pacientů s neobvyklou mírou empatie a představuje je jako hluboce lidské bytosti. V knize se dočteme například o slepé sochařce, která svůj talent objevila až v šedesáti letech, neboť do té doby měla ochrnuté ruce, o nahluchlé ženě, která slyšela nepřetržitě hrát irskou hudbu a měla za to, že to jen její zubní plomba funguje jako krystalka, o muži, jemuž se zdálo, že se stal psem, a ráno se probudil s mimořádně vyvinutým smyslem pro rozeznávání pachů a vůní a s nutkavou potřebou vše očichávat, o dalším, jinak nikterak výjimečném člověku, který znal nazpaměť všech šest tisíc stran hudebního slovníku, či o dvojčatech, která uměla odříkávat prvočísla až po ta dvanáctimístná, ale nesvedla jednoduché sčítání a odčítání. Příběh muže, který si pletl manželku s kloboukem, byl dokonce využit jako námět pro operu skladatele Michaela Nymana, která byla uvedena i v České republice. Oliver Sacks (1933–2015) byl britský lékař, který žil od roku 1965 v New Yorku a věnoval se neurologické praxi. Byl znám svými knihami, v nichž čtenáře seznamoval s nejzajímavějšími klinickými případy své praxe, ale zároveň se hluboce zamýšlel nad otázkami vztahu mozku, duše a nemoci. Jeho dílo bylo přeloženo do mnoha jazyků a vyšlo i v češtině. Kniha Probouzení se stala předlohou pro film Čas probuzení (1990), jenž byl nominován na Oscara.

From the bestselling author of On Gratitude, On the Move and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.In this spirited volume, Oliver Sacks examines the many passions of his own life â “ both as a doctor engaged with the central questions of human existence, and as a polymath conversant in all the sciences.

What is social media doing to our brains?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: Touretteâ ™s syndrome, ageing, dementia and hallucinations. In counterpoint to these elegant investigations of what makes us human, this volume also includes pieces that celebrate Sacksâ ™s love of the natural world â “ and his last meditations on life in the twenty-first century.

As Dr Sacks looked back over his long, adventurous life his final thoughts were of gratitude. In a series of remarkable, beautifully written and uplifting meditations, in Gratitude Dr Sacks reflects on and gives thanks for a life well lived, and expresses his thoughts on growing old, facing terminal cancer and reaching the end. I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and travelled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.

In An Anthropologist on Mars Oliver Sacks uses case studies to illustrate the myriad ways in which neurological conditions can affect our sense of self, our experience of the world, and how we relate to those around us. Writing with his trademark blend of scientific rigour and human compassion, he describes patients such as the colour-blind painter or the surgeon with compulsive tics that disappear in the operating theatre; patients for whom disorientation and alienation â “ but also adaptation â “ are inescapable facts of life. An inexhaustible tourist at the farther reaches of the mind, Sacks presents, in sparse, unsentimental prose, the stories of seven of his patients.

With his trademark compassion and erudition, Dr Oliver Sacks examines the power of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people.

Autobiografie světoznámého britského neurologa Olivera Sackse, který se proslavil svými případovými studiemi fascinujících a neobvyklých lidských příběhů (ať se jedná o epidemii spavé nemoci, která své oběti zanechala na desetiletí v katatonickém stavu, Touretteův syndrom s nekontrolovaně vydávanými zvuky a bizarními tiky či autismus), začíná trochu méně obvykle, než je běžné. Sacks ji psal v době, kdy trpěl rakovinou oka a věděl, že mu již nezbývá mnoho času. Text se z velké části zaobírá osobními tématy, a než se dostaneme k Americe počátku šedesátých let a profesním začátkům v Los Angeles, dozvídáme se o jeho lásce k motorkám, oblibě posilování a každodenního plavání, o depresích a nevyřešených osobních problémech, které vyústily v hluboký pád do světa drog, či jak obtížný život měli homosexuálové v Anglii padesátých let. Sacks tak plně pokračuje ve své zavedené tradici. Propojuje práci neurologa s literární činností a pozoruje sám sebe a svůj život se stejným nadhledem, laskavostí a pronikavostí jako kdysi své pacienty. Za nimi se také vydával do jejich vlastního prostředí a s neobvyklou mírou empatie přibližoval jejich odlišnosti a život žitý v často velmi radikálně změněných podmínkách. I po dlouhodobém pobytu v Americe se však stále považoval za cizince a kladl si otázky, co to znamená domov a jak se vztah k němu během života vyvíjí.

Sbírka různorodých esejů, která je oslavou lidské zvědavosti. Přední světový neurolog Oliver Sacks v ní nahlíží z různých úhlů na svůj život a vzpomíná zejména na to, co jej nejvíc ovlivnilo. Přibližuje své dětství, kdy se poprvé zamiloval do sodíku, draslíku a chlóru a začal provádět první pokusy (někdy ne zcela povedené, jak dokazovala exploze sklenic se špatně zakonzervovanými kvasícími sépiemi), získává první zkušenosti se čtením a knihovnami (knihovna v rodném domě byla jeho nejoblíbenější místností, soupeřila pouze s chemickou laboratoří) a muzei (jednou strávil celou noc v síni fosilních bezobratlých), z nichž se stala celoživotní láska. Autor připomíná některé zajímavé klinické případy ze své praxe, jako byla návštěva odlehlé osady mennonitů, kde se vyskytuje neobvyklý počet tourettiků s různými tiky, nebo epidemii spavého onemocnění se zastavenými pacienty. Popisuje, jak tyto poruchy povětšinou odrážejí pomalu nastávající změny v mozku, kdy dochází k rozrušení samotných základů vědomí a jáství a ke krátkodobému či trvalému pocítění nicoty. Zmiňuje stigma a nepochopení, které takovéto a podobné choroby stále obklopuje, a dotýká se samotného pojetí medicíny, kdy se lékařské techniky a postupy sice změnily, lidský prožitek však nikoli.

Ve své knize světoznámý neurolog Oliver Sacks netradičně pojednává o migréně, onemocnění, jež postihuje až pětinu žen a šest procent mužů. Detailním přiblížením této nemoci všem lidem s bolestmi hlavy ukazuje, že trpí nejspíše neurologickým, po všech stránkách složitým onemocněním, které v jejich životě sehrává jedinečnou roli a je jakýmsi jejich určitým a osobitým výrazem . Migréna tak z tohoto pohledu není nepřítel, jehož je třeba se co nejrychleji zbavit. Je to naopak životně důležité sdělení organismu, kterému je nutno naslouchat, porozumět mu a adekvátně na ně reagovat. Jelikož migréna se vyznačuje mnoha odlišnými projevy, které se mohou výrazně lišit od pacienta k pacientovi, je třeba vždy zvolit individuální přístup beroucí ohled na pacientovu anamnézu, rodinnou historii, biologické a psychologické pozadí. Autor během svého života léčil více než tisíc migreniků a nastudoval historické prameny vztahující se k bolestem hlavy. V knize se čtenář dozví podrobnosti jednotlivých případů i okolnosti, které je třeba brát v úvahu při léčbě tohoto náročně léčitelného onemocnění. Dočteme se mimo jiné i o častých matoucích příznacích, které migrenici zakoušejí, například o zvláštních zrakových halucinacích a pokřiveném vnímání prostoru, času a tělesného obrazu, zvláštních stavech, které našly své vyjádření v mnoha uměleckých dílech.

Hlavním podnětem k sepsání této knihy bylo pro autora jeho obyčejné zranění se zvláštními následky, které utrpěl při nehodě v horách. Oliver Sacks se tak ocitl v postavení pacienta, jehož rutinní chirurgická léčba se zkomplikovala a on na vlastní kůži prožil to, co je předmětem jeho celoživotního bádání - neurologické problémy. Sám na sobě zakusil zážitek odcizení části těla... Myšlenky, které ho v jeho nemoci provázely, byly existenciální povahy: Je možné zachovat si celistvé já i v případě, že přijdeme o část těla? Co vlastně znamená toto já ? Všechno to bylo ještě pořád ohromně neskutečné. Nebyla to moje noha, co jsem po ní šel, nýbrž mohutná, neohrabaná protéza, bizarní přívěsek, sádrový válec ve tvaru nohy - a navíc válec, který pořád měnil svůj tvar i velikost, jako bych používal jakýsi podivně neobratný a nestálý robotský vynález, naprosto směšnou umělou nohu. Byl to pohyb svého druhu, ale neživočišný, nelidský. Tohle že je chůze? Ptal jsem se sám sebe, a potom se záchvěvem hrůzy: s tímhle že se budu muset smířit pro celý zbytek svého života? To se mi pocit opravdové chůze už nikdy nevrátí? Už nikdy nebudu umět přirozeně, spontánně a svobodně chodit? Budu už odteďka nucen myslet na každý pohyb? Musí být všecko tak složité? Nemůže to být prosté? Kniha s upřímností a zápalem přibližuje pocit hrůzy, ale i zázrak, který je ukryt pod povrchem zdraví a který člověka může zcela proměnit.

The fate of all life on Earth depends on a girl who doesn⠙t know if she wants to live Cleo, a 16-year-old adopted Japanese-American whose anxiety and depression drives her to suicidal thoughts, is fresh out of the hospital and trying unsuccessfully to reintegrate back into her old life. What she doesn t know is that her real struggles are just beginning as she finds herself encountering an increasingly terrifying succession of ghosts. Is she losing her grip on reality...or is the explanation much, much worse.  A Haunted Girl is a horror story that explores the real-life terror that comes with the struggles of anxiety and depression. Courtesy of writers Ethan Sacks (Old Man Hawkeye, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters) and his daughter, Naomi Sacks and artist Marco Lorenzana (Hulk), this gripping saga aims to be both a paranormal thriller and an inspiration to those who are battling their own, less literal, demons in real life.  Collects A Haunted Girl #1 - 4

Rabbi Sacks thesis on the future of British society and the dangers facing liberal democracy. With a new foreword by Daniel Finkelstein.Arguing that global communications have fragmented national cultures and that multiculturalism, intended to reduce social frictions, is today reinforcing them, Sacks argues for a new approach to national identity, making the case for integrated diversity within a framework of shared political values.Britain, he argues, will have to construct a national narrative as a basis for identity, reinvigorate the concept of the common good, and identify shared interests among currently conflicting groups. It must restore a culture of civility, protect neutral spaces from politicization, and find ways of moving beyond an adversarial culture in which the loudest voice wins. He argues for a responsibility- rather than rights-based model of citizenship that connects the ideas of giving and belonging.Offering a new paradigm to replace previous models of assimilation on the one hand, multiculturalism on the other, he argues that we should see society as the home we build together , bringing the distinctive gifts of different groups to the common good. Sacks warns of the hazards free and open societies face in the twenty-first century, and offers an unusual religious defence of liberal democracy and the nation state.

The follow up to Stinker Lets Loose, Randy! takes it even further. Introduced by a version of Sacks who finds the document in a garage sale, it is written by the struggling poet and novelist Noah B., who is embedded in the mind and lifestyle of a perversely unexceptional American asshole - one from Maryland, no less. Like Pale Fire if it were about a Danny McBride-style fuckup, it is both unmoored from time and eerily prescient of our own - one so stupid and unbelievable that it requires a writer like Sacks.

Writing with his usual grace and fluency, Jonathan Sacks moves beyond the tired arguments of militant atheists such as Dawkins The God Delusion and Hitchens God is Not Great, to explore how religion has always played a valuable part in human culture and far from being dismissed as redundant, must be allowed to temper and develop scientific understanding in order for us to be fully human.Ranging around the world to draw comparisons from different cultures, and delving deep into the history of language and of western civilisation, Jonathan Sacks shows how the predominance of science-oriented thinking is embedded deeply even in our religious understanding, and calls on us to recognise the centrality of relationship to true religion, and thus to see how this core value of relationship is essential if we are to avoid the natural tendency for science to rule our lives rather than fulfilling its promise to set us free.

We are living through a period of cultural climate change. We have outsourced morality to the markets on the one hand, and the state on the other. The markets have brought wealth to many, and the state has done much to contain the worst excesses of inequality, but neither is capable of bearing the moral weight of showing us how to live. This has had a profound impact on society and the way in which we interact with each other. Traditional values no longer hold, yet recent political swings show that modern ideals of tolerance have left many feeling rudderless and adrift. In this environment we see things fall apart in unexpected ways - toxic public discourse makes true societal progress almost unattainable, a more divisive society is fuelled by identity politics and extremism, and the rise of a victimhood mentality calls for safe spaces but stifles debate. The influence of social media seems all-pervading and the breakdown of the family is only one result of the loss of social capital. Many fear what the future may hold. Delivering a devastatingly insightful critique of our modern condition, and assessing its roots and causes from the ancient Greeks through the Reformation and Enlightenment to the present day, Sacks argues that there is no liberty without morality, and no freedom without responsibility. If we care about the future of western civilisation, all of us must play our part in rebuilding our common moral foundation. Then we will discover afresh the life-transforming and counterintuitive truths that a nation is strong when it cares for the weak, and rich when it cares for the poor. Here is an inspiring vision of a world in which we can all find our place, and face the future without fear.

One of O, The Oprah Magazine’s Ten Best Books of the Year The New York Times bestselling collection of essays from beloved poet, Mary Oliver.“There s hardly a page in my copy of Upstream that isn t folded down or underlined and scribbled on, so charged is Oliver s language . . .” —Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air“Uniting essays from Oliver’s previous books and elsewhere, this gem of a collection offers a compelling synthesis of the poet’s thoughts on the natural, spiritual and artistic worlds . . .” —The New York Times “In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed. I had to go out into the world and see it and hear it and react to it, before I knew at all who I was, what I was, what I wanted to be.” So begins Upstream, a collection of essays in which revered poet Mary Oliver reflects on her willingness, as a young child and as an adult, to lose herself within the beauty and mysteries of both the natural world and the world of literature. Emphasizing the significance of her childhood “friend” Walt Whitman, through whose work she first understood that a poem is a temple, “a place to enter, and in which to feel,” and who encouraged her to vanish into the world of her writing, Oliver meditates on the forces that allowed her to create a life for herself out of work and love. As she writes, “I could not be a poet without the natural world. Someone else could. But not me. For me the door to the woods is the door to the temple.” Upstream follows Oliver as she contemplates the pleasure of artistic labor, her boundless curiosity for the flora and fauna that surround her, and the responsibility she has inherited from Shelley, Wordsworth, Emerson, Poe, and Frost, the great thinkers and writers of the past, to live thoughtfully, intelligently, and to observe with passion. Throughout this collection, Oliver positions not just herself upstream but us as well as she encourages us all to keep moving, to lose ourselves in the awe of the unknown, and to give power and time to the creative and whimsical urges that live within us.
