Brain And Memory

Xena Mindhurst

Beschreibung

'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.

National Parks Forever - Fifty...

Jonathan B. Jarvis, T. Destry...

Two leaders of the National Park Service provide a front-row seat to the disastrous impact of partisan politics over the past fifty years—and offer a bold vision for the parks’ future.
The US National Parks, what environmentalist and historian Wallace Stegner called America’s “best idea,” are under siege. Since 1972, partisan political appointees in the Department of the Interior have offered two conflicting views of the National Park Service (NPS): one vision emphasizes preservation and science-based decision-making, and another prioritizes economic benefits and privatization. These politically driven shifts represent a pernicious, existential threat to the very future of our parks.
For the past fifty years, brothers Jonathan B. and T. Destry Jarvis have worked both within and outside NPS as leaders and advocates. National Parks Forever interweaves their two voices to show how our parks must be protected from those who would open them to economic exploitation, while still allowing generations to explore and learn in them. Their history also details how Congress and administration appointees have used budget and staffing cuts to sabotage NPS’s ability to manage the parks and even threatened their existence. Drawing on their experience, Jarvis and Jarvis make a bold and compelling proposal: that it is time for NPS to be removed from the Department of the Interior and made an independent agency, similar to the Smithsonian Institution, giving NPS leaders the ability to manage park resources and plan our parks’ protection, priorities, and future.

To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? 
 
 
 
In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

Bridging Smiles - The Evolution...

Ryan P. Robinson

Dr. Ryan Robinson should have been a statistic. Instead, he became a successful owner of multiple dental and medical practices—all before the age of forty. In 2015, with his first practice thriving, it looked like he already had “the life.” But inside, despite the external success, he had hit a personal rock bottom, burned out on dental work, and he realized he wasn’t truly passionate about the work. After asking himself, “Why am I here on this earth?” he recalibrated to find the answer and think bigger than ever before.
