Modern software places increasing reliance on dynamic memory allocation, but its direct management is not only notoriously error-prone. Garbage collection eliminates many of these bugs. This reference presents each of the most important algorithms in detail, often with illustrations of its characteristic features and animations of its use.

One of Modern Library's 100 Best Nonfiction Books of the Twentieth Century In this classic study of how people learned to retain vast stores of knowledge before the invention of the printed page, Frances A. Yates traces the art of memory from its treatment by Greek orators, through its Gothic transformations in the Middle Ages, to the occult forms it took in the Renaissance, a...(展开全部)

The ancient Greeks, to whom a trained memory was of vital importance - as it was to everyone before the invention of printing - created an elaborate memory system, based on a technique of impressing 'places' and 'images' on the mind.

古希臘人開創許多門藝術，其中包括了「記憶術」。詩人兼哲學家賽莫尼底斯，是公認發明這門技藝的人──在一次宴會廳突然坍塌後，罹難的家屬無從認屍，就是他按記憶說出死亡賓客的座位與名字的排序。「記憶術」建立起主宰西方十數個世紀的心像記憶法傳統。在古希臘，記憶女神妮摩姬尼乃眾繆斯之母，可見在印刷術尚未發明之前，擁有記憶本領的重要性。記憶術可說是西方文明最不可或缺的一環──整理記憶方法的歷史，觸及宗教、藝術、文學、哲學、心理學、倫理學，以及科學方法的歷史。我們一旦細查這些深遠的相關性，更覺得這一趟探索不僅開啟了觀察西方文化的視野，也界定了幽遠文明的一些最重要的發展。這門技術仰賴的深層視覺記憶官能，其實是現代人早已不懂得運用的。想像在印刷術發明之前，人們如何學習把龐大的知識庫記在腦裡？如果真具備那種鍛鍊過的記憶能力，對現今的你我顯然也將啟發良多，甚至是莫大的優勢。...(展开全部)
