Ii haven 't seen that anyone else has posted it here, but famed neuropsychologist and best-selling author Oliver Sacks has died, age 82. I didn't bother with a link, as the story is widely available on-line. Late in life he began to write informal popular non-fiction about his specialty, and immediately demonstrated a wonderful facility at doing so. His first big seller, I believe, was Awakenings, which was made into an excellent movie starring Robert DeNiro. Sacks was always a little bothered by having the recognition as a best-selling author, but i heard an interview with him a few years ago, and he was affable, informative and seemed comfortable in what he had achieved. He should have been. If you haven't read any of his work (also The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and The Island of the Color-Blind, among others), you've missed something.
