[A] comprehensive compendium of everything we know about memory and
how we might improve it.
*New Scientist*
Our memory defines both who we are and who we think we are. Memory
makes us human and explains why one of our greatest fears is the
cruel loss of memory associated with dementia and Alzheimer's
disease. In this wonderfully lucid and erudite book Richard Restak
explains the varied nature of memory, how we can enhance our
memory, why memory fails, and the action of aids, that may or may
not, enhance our memory. I recommend this book as an essential read
for anybody interested in knowing what it is to be human.

Thought provoking .... Tips its hat at some very big ideas
*The Times*
Drawing on relevant scientific findings, as well as practical
wisdom dating back to ancient times, Richard Restak has written a
fine and comprehensive book about human memory. Whether you are a
cognitive scientist, an interested student, a worried elder, or
simply a curious reader, you are likely to marvel at and possibly
enhance your mnemonic skills.

Education, Harvard University*
