Download or read book The Seven Sins of Memory written by Daniel L. Schacter and published by HMH. This book was released on 2002-05-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book: A psychologist’s “gripping and thought-provoking” look at how and why our brains sometimes fail us (Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works). In this intriguing study, Harvard psychologist Daniel L. Schacter explores the memory miscues that occur in everyday life, placing them into seven categories: absent-mindedness, transience, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. Illustrating these concepts with vivid examples—case studies, literary excerpts, experimental evidence, and accounts of highly visible news events such as the O. J. Simpson verdict, Bill Clinton’s grand jury testimony, and the search for the Oklahoma City bomber—he also delves into striking new scientific research, giving us a glimpse of the fascinating neurology of memory and offering “insight into common malfunctions of the mind” (USA Today). “Though memory failure can amount to little more than a mild annoyance, the consequences of misattribution in eyewitness testimony can be devastating, as can the consequences of suggestibility among pre-school children and among adults with ‘false memory syndrome’ . . . Drawing upon recent neuroimaging research that allows a glimpse of the brain as it learns and remembers, Schacter guides his readers on a fascinating journey of the human mind.” —Library Journal “Clear, entertaining and provocative . . . Encourages a new appreciation of the complexity and fragility of memory.” —The Seattle Times “Should be required reading for police, lawyers, psychologists, and anyone else who wants to understand how memory can go terribly wrong.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution “A fascinating journey through paths of memory, its open avenues and blind alleys . . . Lucid, engaging, and enjoyable.” —Jerome Groopman, MD “Compelling in its science and its probing examination of everyday life, The Seven Sins of Memory is also a delightful book, lively and clear.” —Chicago Tribune Winner of the William James Book Award

Download or read book Forgetting written by Scott A. Small and published by Crown. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fascinating and useful . . . The distinguished memory researcher Scott A. Small explains why forgetfulness is not only normal but also beneficial.”—Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of The Code Breaker and Leonardo da Vinci Who wouldn’t want a better memory? Dr. Scott Small has dedicated his career to understanding why memory forsakes us. As director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Columbia University, he focuses largely on patients who experience pathological forgetting, and it is in contrast to their suffering that normal forgetting, which we experience every day, appears in sharp relief. Until recently, most everyone—memory scientists included—believed that forgetting served no purpose. But new research in psychology, neurobiology, medicine, and computer science tells a different story. Forgetting is not a failure of our minds. It’s not even a benign glitch. It is, in fact, good for us—and, alongside memory, it is a required function for our minds to work best. Forgetting benefits our cognitive and creative abilities, emotional well-being, and even our personal and societal health. As frustrating as a typical lapse can be, it’s precisely what opens up our minds to making better decisions, experiencing joy and relationships, and flourishing artistically. From studies of bonobos in the wild to visits with the iconic painter Jasper Johns and the renowned decision-making expert Daniel Kahneman, Small looks across disciplines to put new scientific findings into illuminating context while also revealing groundbreaking developments about Alzheimer’s disease. The next time you forget where you left your keys, remember that a little forgetting does a lot of good.

Download or read book On the Forests of Tropical Asia written by Peter S. Ashton and published by Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to describe the forests of the entire tropical Asian region, from Sind to New Guinea. Based on Peter Ashton s working field experience of over 55 years in every country, Burma and Laos excepted. Following a chapter on physical geography and geological history, seven chapters address forest and tree structure and dynamics, floristics, mountain forests, the other organisms on which the forests and trees depend, as well as genetics, evolutionary history, species diversity, and past and present human impact. A final chapter covers future policy and practice options for the sustainment of what remains. Each chapter focuses on the nature of forest variation, and attempts to provide an understanding of its causes based on the published literature, Peter s own experience, and his research collaborations. The author presents hypotheses to explain these patterns of variation as a stimulation for further research (especially by students within the region), and as a framework for policy makers, foresters and conservation biologists, as well as the serious naturalist/ecotourist."

Download or read book Before Memories Fade written by Melvin H. Dick and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to remember my Uncle, Private First Class Melvin W. Dunn. He was a member of General George Patton's 3rd Army, 5th Infantry Division and the 10th Regiment in World War II. He was killed during the Ardennes Offensive, better known as the Battle of the Bulge on January 28, 1945. Through some luck and research I have been able to find a few men who fought with him in the 10th Regiment. They have told me of their memories of the war and of the men with whom they fought. The men are all in their eighties and nineties, with fading memories of a war sixty plus years ago. Some memories however have not gone away and are quite vivid. The war was an important part of their lives and something they can never completely forget. I don't think many today understand the war and how much of the world was affected. At least fifty million people lost their life because of the war. The destruction of property was tremendous and it was years before reconstruction was completed in the war torn countries. It was impossible for life to return to normal in Europe. The American soldiers returned home, but were changed and for many it took years before the war left their daily thoughts. We owe a huge debt to those who served in the war and they deserve to be given our appreciation with rockets firing and trumpets playing.

Download or read book As Memories Fade Volume 1 written by LANE and published by As Memories Fade. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years many first-hand memories of the World Wars and other significant events of the twentieth century have been captured in print and on film. Though extensive, these are only a fraction of the collective memory of the people affected. Most of those involved have now gone, but their memories live on through the people they have told - their families and their friends - but this generation too will pass and with them the wealth of stories they hold on to. As Memories Fade will record these stories in a series of books. Inevitably, many of these stories will be based on wartime experiences, but the series extends into other areas of human endeavour. Many are told by their descendants based on memories and research into surviving documentation others are told by the individuals themselves or by those who knew them. These stories are more than extended anecdotes and have a broader theme relevant to a wider audience. There is a balance of stories about both rich and poor, male and female. Some stories may be about prominent people, but many are about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. About the Editor After a career that involved working in industry, education and local government Steven is now a publisher and author of fiction and non-fiction with experience of writing for stage, screen and politicians.

Download or read book Blue Nights written by Joan Didion and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A work of stunning frankness about losing a daughter, from the bestselling, award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Let Me Tell You What I Mean Richly textured with memories from her own childhood and married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana Roo, this new book by Joan Didion is an intensely personal and moving account of her thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness and growing old. As she reflects on her daughter’s life and on her role as a parent, Didion grapples with the candid questions that all parents face, and contemplates her age, something she finds hard to acknowledge, much less accept. Blue Nights—the long, light evening hours that signal the summer solstice, “the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but also its warning”—like The Year of Magical Thinking before it, is an iconic book of incisive and electric honesty, haunting and profound.
