The River of Consciousness

What is the truth in the joke: "Lies like a witness"? And can we trust our memory? The paradoxes of time perception: why does it sometimes seem that time flies by, while at other moments it suddenly freezes and stretches... infinitely? What role did the delicate primrose play in Darwin's theory of evolution? And is it fair to accuse plagiarists of stealing ideas? This collection includes essays by Oliver Sacks, dedicated to the peculiarities of time perception, the paradoxes of consciousness, and the unexpected twists of creative thought by geniuses of science such as Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, and William James.
