Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Memory is a paradoxical and perennially fascinating phenomenon. How is it, for example, that we can remember things we wish to forget and yet forget things we want to remember? Why is that certain things - a name, a phone number - can be 'on tip of the tongue' and yet still elude us? How can a single whiff of a familiar scent evoke a whole scene from a long 'forgotten' past? What is the relationship between our memories and our dreams, and why do we so quickly forget the latter? These and many other intriguing aspects of memory are investigated in this thought-provoking book which sets out to explain in an accessible way what is presently understood about the human memory and what still remains mysterious. There is also, of course, a lighter side to both memory and forgetfulness and this, too, is fully explored. 331 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).…
