Sinopse

Memory Science explores the fascinating world of human memory, from how we encode and store information to why we sometimes forget where we put our keys. It delves into the biological mechanisms behind memory, highlighting the crucial roles of brain regions like the hippocampus and amygdala. Understanding these processes is key, not just for those with memory disorders, but for anyone seeking to boost cognitive function. This book uniquely integrates insights from psychology, biology, and neuroscience to provide a well-rounded view of memory.

 


 
It examines the causes of forgetting, ranging from simple absentmindedness to conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, it explores cutting-edge memory enhancement techniques, including cognitive training and emerging technologies like brain stimulation, offering evidence-based recommendations for improving memory.

 


 
Memory Science progresses by first introducing the foundational principles of memory. It then investigates the causes of forgetting before finally exploring the frontiers of memory enhancement. Complex concepts are explained clearly, making this book accessible to a broad audience interested in psychology, biology, and the science of memory.

    Step into a harrowing and deeply moving story of one man’s battle against abuse, depression, gaslighting, and homelessness.Abandoned by his mother and subjected to years of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of his uncle and stepmother, Burak Yilmaz has few fond memories of his childhood. And when his family discovers the truth about his sexuality, he’s cast onto the streets by his father and left to fend for himself. 
    Burak survives by doing things he never imagined–but that only sends him deeper down a self-destructive spiral. Even after he escapes to New York to rebuild his life as a fitness model and bartender, the specter of his childhood continues to haunt him.

    Told with poignant reflections and brought to life with vivid detail, this gripping and powerful memoir shares Burak Yilmaz’s story confronting the harsh realities of abuse, depression, gaslighting, homelessness, and being gay in Islam. Readers will discover an unforgettable glimpse into one man’s fight for survival in a world where everything is stacked against him, along with his first-hand experience of homosexuality in his profoundly religious home country of Turkey.

    A transparent first-hand account of a Black officer maneuvering through three terrifying yet rewarding decades of policing, all while seeking reform in law enforcement
    		 
    When 16-year-old Keith Merith finds himself pulled over, berated, and degraded by a white police officer, he’s outraged. He’s done nothing wrong. But the officer has the power, and he doesn’t. From that day on, he vows to join a police service and effect change from within.
    		 
    Twelve years and a multitude of infuriating applications later, Merith is finally hired by York Regional Police. Subjected to unfair treatment and constant microaggressions, he perseveres and gradually rises through the ranks, his goal of systemic change carrying him through. After a stellar career, Merith retires at the rank of superintendent, but his desire for sustained and equitable reform is stronger than ever.
    		 
    In A Darker Shade of Blue, Merith shares both his gut-wrenching and heart-warming experiences and advocates for immediate police reform in a balanced and level-headed manner. He praises the people in blue, but he also knows on a visceral level that there are deep issues that need to be rectified — starting with recruitment. He knows that law enforcement agencies should reflect the communities they serve and protect, and that all citizens should be treated equally. Entrusted with the duty to serve, Merith delivers an evocative perspective of policing by providing the opportunity to walk in his shoes, as a Black man, and as a police officer on the front lines.

    What is it about eels? Depending on who you ask, they are a pest, a fascination, a threat, a pot of gold. Eels emerged some 200 million years ago, weathered mass extinctions and continental shifts, and were once among the world's most abundant freshwater fish. But since the 1970s, their numbers have plummeted. Because eels—as unagi—are another thing: delicious. 
     
     
     
    In Slippery Beast, journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell travels in the world of "eel people," pursuing a fascination with this mysterious creature. Despite centuries of study by thinkers from Aristotle to Leeuwenhoek to Sigmund Freud, much about eels remains unknown. Eels cannot be bred reliably in captivity and infant eels are unbelievably valuable. A pound of the tiny, translucent, bug-eyed "elvers" caught in the fresh waters of Maine can command $3,000 or more on the black market. Illegal trade in eels is an international scandal measured in billions of dollars every year. In Maine, federal investigators have risked their lives to bust poaching rings. 
     
     
     
    Ruppel Shell follows the elusive eel from Maine to the Sargasso Sea, stalking riversides, fishing holes, laboratories, restaurants, courtrooms, and America's first commercial eel "family farm." This is an enthralling, globe-spanning look at an animal that you may never come to love, but which will never fail to astonish you.
