Sinopsis

Memory Aids for Learning explores how targeted memory techniques can significantly improve academic outcomes for students with learning disabilities. Grounded in cognitive science and educational psychology, the book highlights the importance of understanding memory deficits, such as those impacting working memory, long-term memory, and executive function, common in students with dyslexia or ADHD. It emphasizes that memory is a skill that can be developed, not a fixed capacity, showcasing how mnemonic strategies and visual aids can transform learning.

 
The book presents evidence-based memory techniques ready for educational settings, including spaced repetition and elaborative encoding, to enhance retention. A key insight is the power of visual imagery in boosting memory. It guides readers from foundational knowledge of memory and learning disabilities to practical applications of memory aids, detailing their use across various subjects.

 
Finally, the book champions a strengths-based approach, focusing on what students can achieve with the right support. It provides practical guidelines and lesson plans adaptable for teachers and parents, addressing individual learning styles and curriculum demands. The content progresses logically, beginning with core concepts and culminating in implementation strategies, making it a valuable resource for educators, parents, and students seeking to support learners facing memory-related challenges.

This book provides listeners with a new working model of the human mind based on contemporary trends in cognitive science. Taking a distinct biological approach, the book presents mind and brain as two sides of the same coin while at the same time emphasizing the need for separate accounts. The listener is introduced step by step to the mind account showing how it operates. 
 
The text explores the mind's basic architecture examining how its family of eleven systems interact flexibly and collaboratively to process information, mostly subconsciously. Key topics include the five systems that build specialized representations from sensory input, consciousness, memory, emotions, comparisons between human and animal cognition, language processing, and concepts of Self, Free Will, and spirituality. The book illuminates how general principles of activation, association, and competition act in combination with the unique principles that govern each of the mind's specialized systems. One chapter explains two of these systems in more detail to illustrate how expertise from any relevant area of research can be used elaborate the basic model. 
 
Written in an accessible style, The Human Mind Revealed offers valuable insights for students and scholars across cognitive science disciplines as well as general listeners curious about how the mind works.

That summer afternoon, I had no way of knowing the book would radically alter my existence. Yet that proved to be the case. A wind that had begun to blow from a faraway place a long time ago had finally caught up with me.
So writes folklorist José Manuel de Prada-Samper about a chance discovery more than thirty years ago of an obscure book called Specimens of Bushman Folklore in a second-hand bookshop in England.
Part historical detective story, part memoir, Fading Footprints traces the author's journey into the magical folklore of the /xam hunter-gatherers of the Upper Karoo. Through archival research and on field trips in South Africa, de Prada-Samper reveals the tragic scope of the genocide of the /xam San by European colonisers. However, he is also able to humanise the /xam as he delves into the work and lives of researchers Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd, who recorded the stories of San prisoners in Cape Town over more than a decade in the late 1800s.
Determined to seek out the ancient folklore tales, the author travels to forgotten corners of the Northern Cape. There he learns that many stories are still told to this day by farm workers and that, contrary to common belief, the culture and traditions of South Africa's first people are still very much alive. Their footprints may have faded but they have not been erased.

A concise, star-studded retelling of Italy's past, from Caesar and Augustus to da Vinci and Michelangelo, tracing the story of a country with prodigious global influence—from a foremost author of historic Italy. 
 
 
 
The calendar. The Senate. The university. The piano, the heliocentric model, and the pizzeria. It's hard to imagine a world without Italian influence—and easy to assume that inventions like these could only come from a strong, stable peninsula, sure of its place in the world. In this breakneck history, bestselling author Ross King dismantles this assumption, uncovering the story of a land rife with inner uncertainty even as its influence spread. 
 
 
 
As the Italian tale unfolds, prosperity and power fluctuate like the elevation in the Dolomites. If Rome's seven hills could talk, they might speak of the glorious time of Trajan—or bemoan the era of conquest and the Bubonic Plague that decimated Rome's population. Episodes of wealth like the First Triumvirate and the time of the Medicis are given fresh life alongside descriptions the Middle Ages, the early days of Venice, the invasion of Napoleon, and the long struggle for unification. King paints a colorful, fascinating portrait of a country that remains compelling not just to tens of millions of Italian Americans, but to the millions of Americans who visit Italy every year.

In April 1923 the SS Metagama weighed anchor off Stornoway and set sail for Montreal. On board were three hundred young men and women bound for a new life in North America. Partly driven by the lure of opportunities overseas, these young Leosachs were also participants in the new government programme of state-aided emigration.
Based on personal interviews with those who travelled to the New World on the Metagama and other ships, Jim Wilkie sets their story in the context of emigration in Lewis over the centuries, to produce a fascinating insight into one of the central events in the island's history.

John Leland's 'Itinerary' was the product of several journeys around England and Wales undertaken between 1538 and 1543. The manuscript is made up of Leland's notebooks, which were first published in the 18th century, and later in a ten-part, five-volume edition published by Lucy Toulmin (1906-10). Part IX of the manuscript begins in the south of England and gradually meanders its way, county by county, through central and northern England up to the borders of Scotland. Leland did not prepare the manuscript for publication and it is sometimes difficult to follow, with occasional geographically-misplaced sections, lists of headings with content yet to be added, and the odd lapse into Latin. Part IX of the Itinerary will be of interest, nevertheless, to anyone with an interest in English history as an early form of the 'gazetteer', compiled at a time when the shape of the country as a whole was still a mystery to most of its inhabitants. Leland's spellings tend to be inconsistent and for the most part I have used modern pronunciations unless a consistent spelling clearly indicates a different pronunciation. I have also omitted or modified a few short passages that would be otherwise incomprehensible. (Summary by Phil Benson)
