Scents And Memory

Sinopse

"Scents and Memory" explores the profound link between our sense of smell and memory, revealing how scents uniquely trigger vivid recollections and emotions. Unlike other senses, olfactory information bypasses the typical sensory relay and directly impacts the brain's limbic system, particularly the amygdala and hippocampus, the centers for emotion and memory. This direct connection explains why a particular fragrance can instantly transport us back to specific moments in our lives. The book begins by detailing the biology of the olfactory system, explaining how scent molecules travel to the brain. It then delves into the psychology of scent-triggered memory, examining how context and emotion shape our recollections.

"Scents and Memory" highlights the emotional intensity and unique characteristics of scent-related memories, challenging the traditional focus on visual and auditory recall. Through neuroimaging studies, behavioral experiments, and case studies, the book reveals how specific brain regions activate upon encountering familiar scents, correlating with memory retrieval.

The book progresses through three main themes: the neuroscience of scent-triggered memory, the psychology of olfactory memory, and the clinical applications of this knowledge. This approach integrates findings from neuroscience, psychology, and medicine, from understanding the neural pathways involved in scent recall to exploring potential therapies for conditions like PTSD. This interdisciplinary approach makes the book valuable for anyone interested in the brain, memory, and the powerful influence of our sense of smell.

Bad Company - Private Equity and...

Megan Greenwell

A timely work of singular reportage and a damning indictment of the private equity industry told through the stories of four American workers whose lives and communities were upended by the ruinous effects of private equity takeovers. 
Private equity runs our country, yet few Americans have any idea how ingrained it is in their lives. Private equity controls our hospitals, daycare centers, supermarket chains, voting machine manufacturers, local newspapers, nursing home operators, fertility clinics, and prisons. The industry even manages highways, municipal water systems, fire departments, emergency medical services, and owns a growing swath of commercial and residential real estate. 
Private equity executives, meanwhile, are not only among the wealthiest people in American society, but have grown to become modern-day barons with outsized influence on our politics and legislation. CEOs of firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR, and Apollo are rewarded with seats in the Senate and on the boards of the country’s most august institutions; meanwhile, entire communities are hollowed out as a result of their buyouts. Workers lose their jobs. Communities lose their institutions. Only private equity wins. 
Acclaimed journalist Megan Greenwell’s Bad Company unearths the hidden story of private equity by examining the lives of four American workers that were devastated as private equity upended their employers and communities: a Toys R Us floor supervisor, a rural doctor, a local newspaper journalist, and an affordable housing organizer. Taken together, their individual experiences also pull back the curtain on a much larger project: how private equity reshaped the American economy to serve its own interests, creating a new class of billionaires while stripping ordinary people of their livelihoods, their health care, their homes, and their sense of security. 
In the tradition of deeply human reportage like Matthew Desmond’s Evicted, Megan Greenwell pulls back the curtain on shadowy multibillion dollar private equity firms, telling a larger story about how private equity is reshaping the economy, disrupting communities, and hollowing out the very idea of the American dream itself. Timely and masterfully told, Bad Company is a forceful rebuke of America’s most consequential, yet least understood economic forces.
