Fascinating science blends with engaging prose in this highly entertaining exploration of how memory works-- and how to make it work better. In this extraordinary book, scientist Rebecca Rupp explains how and why memory works the way it does. What are the chemical processes that occur in the brain when we remember--and how do they account for the "absentminded" or "steel trap"...(展开全部)
