Oliver Sacks, eminent neurologist and author, dies aged 82

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales - Oliver Sacks An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales - Oliver Sacks Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain - Oliver Sacks Awakenings - Oliver Sacks Hallucinations - Oliver Sacks The Mind's Eye - Oliver Sacks

It is sad that Oliver Sacks died today. 

 

I didn't realize that he was gay until I saw the Pink News that announced his passing. 

 

 

I like his books. He taught me a lot about how people see in colors, and how damaged brains had helped us to know how the brain work.

 

Thank you Oliver for teaching me so much through your books. 

 

I knew about his cancer on the eye when he wrote about his experience in Mind's Eye. 

 

No word. Just sad.
