  The ability for the brain to encode, store, and recall information is known as memory. Experience serves as a roadmap for future action.Memory includes both consciously recalled facts and experienced details as well as deeply embedded knowledge that pops up without thought or even awareness. It serves as both a temporary information storage space and a more lasting record of what has been learned. Scientists have identified several different types of memory, including episodic, semantic, procedural, working, sensory, and prospective memory.From the vivid memories of episodic memory to the practical knowledge of procedural memory, each type of memory has a specific purpose. However, there are similarities in the way memory functions generally, and certain parts of the brain, like the hippocampus, are crucial for different types of memory.

  The Iran-Iraq War - A Decade of...

  The Iran-Iraq War, which raged from 1980 to 1988, was one of the longest and most devastating conflicts of the 20th century. To understand its eruption, one must look back at the complex web of historical grievances, ideological clashes, and strategic calculations that set the stage for war. The roots of the conflict lay not only in territorial disputes and regional rivalry but also in the dramatically shifting political landscapes within both nations. 
  Iran, under the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi until 1979, had enjoyed a close relationship with the West, particularly the United States. The Shah’s regime was modernizing but also increasingly authoritarian, and his reliance on foreign powers alienated large segments of the Iranian population. This discontent culminated in the Islamic Revolution of 1979, which swept Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to power and replaced the monarchy with a theocratic republic. The revolution shocked the region, especially its Sunni neighbors and secular governments, as Iran began exporting its revolutionary ideology and calling for the overthrow of what it labeled as corrupt, un-Islamic regimes. 
  Iraq, ruled by the secular Ba'ath Party under Saddam Hussein, was especially alarmed. Not only did Iraq share a long and often contentious border with Iran, but it also had a significant Shi’a majority population that Saddam feared could be influenced by Khomeini’s message. Additionally, Iraq had longstanding territorial disputes with Iran, particularly over the Shatt al-Arab waterway, a critical channel for oil exports. Saddam believed that post-revolution Iran, weakened by purges and internal strife, presented a unique opportunity for Iraq to assert dominance in the region.

  Americans generally show great respect for their troops, and rightfully so. But what is the history of the US Armed Forces? How did the American military come about?  
  The answers to these questions might not be quite as straightforward as you might think. The American military industrial complex, as one former president once called it, was not always so streamlined and efficient.  
  It began more or less as a ragtag bunch of colonialists and revolutionaries who struggled with some of the most fundamental concepts of military discipline. Nevertheless, this ragtag group ultimately shook off the yoke of the British Empire and forged an independent nation.  
  In this audiobook, we take a look at America’s military might from its inception to the present day. We explore the beginnings of both pre- and post-revolutionary America, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the world wars, the wars in Korea and Vietnam, the War on Terror, and more. The American military is still considered a force to be reckoned with, and its story is one that continues to be written about.  
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The interesting origin of the US Armed ForcesThe participation of American militias in the Revolutionary WarArmed conflict during the Civil WarAmerica’s participation in the world warsHow America was involved in the Cold War conflictThe War on Terror and how it influenced world politicsHow American’s military advanced throughout the yearsAnd much more!
