~ edit Just posted on N. Y. Times web-site: video of TED interview with Sacks: [^]. Also just posted: essay by Michiko Kakutani on Sacks' life and work: "Oliver Sacks, Casting Light on the Interconnectedness of Life:" [^]~ end edit
Sacks, a neurologist, a prolific author of best-selling books like "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," an educator whose many publications helped raise public awareness of distinct neurological disorders, like Tourette's Syndrome, and Asperger Syndrome, died of cancer on August 30.
N.Y. Times obituary: [^]
The popular movie "Awakenings," based on Sack's book with the same title, dramatized his work with encephalitis-related catatonia patients using the drug L-dopa, many of whom were "brought back to life" by the drug ... unfortunately, often for a brief period of time.
Intellectually, Sacks' works helped expose psychology/psychiatry practitioners around the world to the work and thought of the great Russian school of "cultural/historical psychiatry" created by Luria, Vygotsky, Leontiev, and others, based on the early work of Kraepelin.
For many (including the dunce writing this post, now), Sacks' work served as a "beacon" of positivist humaneness in trying to understand, and help, people with distinct neurological problems, and a very valuable antidote to the narrow-minded psychiatry focused on quantitative studies (often questionable) and endless concern with disorder-classification (DSM) prevalent in their own cultures.
Sacks wrote a moving N. Y. Times piece in February, this year, sharing how his impending death from irreversible cancer metastasis was affecting him: [^].
«I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center» Kurt Vonnegut.

One of the sad things about growing old is how many amazing people we lose along the way.
I heartily recommend his books to anyone who owns a brain and has an interest on how it works - in particular (IMO) the Island of the Colour Blind[^]..

Damn well put! *sniff*
I would add that he's a beacon of the (career-wise risky) route of making science accessible to the interested layman.
(IIRC it was Sapolsky who noted that when publishing "pop-sci" books you have to tread very carefully, as it is prone to lower your credibility with some parts of the scientific community.)

One of my pals in the UK was at a cafe in Edinburgh, and with the festival/fringe on at the moment it appears to bring out all sorts.
He was left a hand written message from another customer, an alleged 'writer/comedian/star' as the individual wrote himself on the message....bit pretentious!
Apparently he thought my pals bairn was making a bit too much noise for his liking and rather than say something, left the message and walked out!
You can see pictures of the message and read it for yourself here: https://twitter.com/daveauld/status/638233785574645760[^]
I find it very amusing for some reason.....maybe if you all retweet/share we can shame the individual!
