Synopsis

'Brain and Memory' presents a fascinating exploration of how our brains store and retrieve experiences through complex neural networks. This comprehensive work bridges the gap between cutting-edge neuroscience and practical memory enhancement, examining the intricate processes that allow us to maintain memories over decades. The book uniquely combines cellular-level understanding of memory formation with broader insights into different memory systems, making it invaluable for both academic and general audiences interested in cognitive function.

 
The text progresses systematically through four key areas, beginning with the biological foundations of memory at the cellular level, where synaptic plasticity plays a crucial role. It then explores distinct memory types, including working, episodic, and procedural memory, before delving into various factors affecting memory performance, such as sleep, stress, and nutrition. Throughout these sections, the book maintains a careful balance between scientific rigor and accessibility, using clear explanations and practical examples to illuminate complex concepts.

 
What sets this work apart is its integration of traditional memory research with contemporary discoveries in neuroplasticity and cognitive enhancement. Drawing from functional MRI studies, clinical cases, and longitudinal research, it provides evidence-based strategies for memory improvement while acknowledging current limitations in our understanding. The book's interdisciplinary approach connects neuroscience with psychology and education, making it particularly relevant for students, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in maintaining cognitive health throughout their lifetime.

    A spellbinding, inquisitive journey into the nature of the unseen for anyone as curious about the afterlife as they are about life
    		 
    Hauntings happen. But why? Are they caused by ghosts, or something else? What is a ghost, anyway? After centuries of ghost-hunting by experts and amateurs alike, are we any closer to knowing?
    		 
    Like many, Margo MacDonald once believed that all hauntings were the work of restless spirits, but after two decades spent engaging with firsthand accounts of paranormal encounters — and having a few of her own — she has more questions than answers.
    		 
    MacDonald asks: Why are we haunted by tragedy but not by joy? If a ghost lives in a house but no one experiences it, does it make a haunting? And what does our desire to believe in ghosts say about us?
    		 
    With insight and humor, A Curious Presence explores the theories that have shaped MacDonald’s understanding of hauntings and the paranormal. Told through conversations with skeptics, sensitives, parapsychologists, investigators, and haunted-house dwellers — interwoven with vivid accounts of real experiences and visits to famously haunted locations — MacDonald proposes an unsettling idea: Perhaps it isn’t the places that are haunted, but the people who move through them. Perhaps we have more in common with ghosts than we think.

    To mark the 50th anniversary of the University of Buckingham, this is the second edition of Dr Kazuhiro Tobisawa’s influential study The Influence of Society on Japanese Nuclear Disarmament Policy, with a new Foreword. 
    Japan is the only country to have experienced the devastating effects of nuclear weapons in war. From Hiroshima and Nagasaki emerged a powerful anti-nuclear movement, shaped by survivors’ experiences and sustained by civil society organisations committed to nuclear disarmament. 
    Dr Tobisawa examines the often-overlooked influence of these organisations on Japanese government policy. He explores their role in “private diplomacy”, their efforts to address the international conflicts underlying nuclear tensions, and the complex relationship between governments and social movements campaigning for disarmament. 
    By placing civil society at the heart of the nuclear debate, this book offers a fresh perspective on why decades of efforts towards nuclear disarmament have repeatedly fallen short, as well as what might be learned from Japan’s experience for the future.

    Discover a thrilling true story of treachery, deceit, hope and despair.
    From the moment Mary, Queen of Scots set foot on English soil in 1568 until her execution at Fotheringhay Castle on 8 February 1587, she was the prisoner of her cousin, Elizabeth I. Unlike Mary's time on the Scottish throne, the dramatic events of these years – almost half her life – took place while she was a captive. But while trouble was perpetually simmering beyond her prison walls, within them Mary was constantly plotting. Only towards the end did she lose faith in returning to her homeland as rightful ruler.
    This is the story of Mary's tumultuous later years, told through the many atmospheric locations where she was confined. Drawing on the latest research, including a treasure trove of recently decoded letters, Exile sheds fascinating new light on her captivity and the charged political climate of the period. Reading like a 16th-century thriller, this account of treachery, deceit, hope and despair is a penetrating and enthralling psychological portrait of one of history's endlessly fascinating queens.
