This book's title and subtitle, 'How to train yourself to remember more', indicate a realistic and practical approach to the subject. The first chapter briefly explores some of the situations at work, in education and in social life where remembering can be important. The next section briefly and clearly outlines just what memory is, how it works, and how it sometimes fails, what helps it to operate efficiently and what blocks it. Successive chapters, written in a down-to-earth style, cover 'putting the material in, 'keeping it -there', and 'getting-it out'. There are sections on 'chunking' (a form of set theory), associating and using these and other techniques efficiently. Each chapter ends with a summary, and most include questions or discussion points. The author wears his scholarship lightly and writes in everyday language with plenty of examples. This book could be of interest to those in the examination years, and also possibly to some teachers. At the time of writing, I've not been able to discover whether Dr Marshall's advice will help improve my own dreadful memory for names. Robert Protherough School Librarian Journal
