Sinossi

The Memory Loop explores the intricate science of memory, revealing how our brains encode, store, and retrieve information. It examines the dynamic interplay between neural mechanisms and psychological factors that influence remembering and forgetting. Did you know memory isn't a static storage system but a reconstructive process, shaped by experiences? Understanding this can help address memory challenges and enhance cognitive potential; this also has implications for law, given the fallibility of eyewitness testimony.

 
The book establishes a foundation in brain architecture, focusing on key regions like the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. It introduces concepts like synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation. Uniquely, the book integrates neuroscience and psychology, bridging biological mechanisms with the experience of remembering.

 
The book unfolds in three sections: encoding, storage (including sleep's role), and retrieval. It concludes with memory enhancement strategies and ethical considerations, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding and empowering them to optimize cognitive functions.

How to Kill a Witch - The...

Zoe Venditozzi, Claire Mitchell

Scotland, 1563: Crops failed. People starved. And the Devil's influence was stronger than ever―at least, that's what everyone believed. If you were a woman living in Scotland during this turbulent time, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. 
 
During the chaos of the Reformation, violence against women was codified for the first time in the Witchcraft Act―a tool of theocratic control with one chilling goal: to root out witches and rid the land of evil. What followed was a dark and misogynistic chapter in history that fanned the flames of witch hunts across the globe, including in the United States and beyond. 
 
In How to Kill a Witch, Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell, hosts of the popular Witches of Scotland podcast, unravel the grim yet absurdly bureaucratic process of identifying, accusing, trying, and executing women as witches. 
 
This captivating (and often infuriating) account, which weaves a rich tapestry of trial transcripts, witness accounts, and the documents that set the legal grounds for the witch hunts, exposes how this violent period of history mirrors today's struggles for justice and equality.

Legacy of Empire - Britain...

Gardner Thompson

It is now more than seventy years since the creation of the state of Israel, yet its origins and the British Empire's historic responsibility for Palestine remain little known. Confusion persists too as to the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. In Legacy of Empire, Gardner Thompson offers a clear-eyed review of political Zionism and Britain's role in shaping the history of Palestine and Israel. Thompson explores why the British government adopted Zionism in the early twentieth century, issuing the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and then retaining it as the cornerstone of their rule in Palestine after the First World War. Despite evidence and warnings, over the next two decades Britain would facilitate the colonisation of Arab Palestine by Jewish immigrants, ultimately leading to a conflict which it could not contain. Britain's response was to propose the partition of an ungovernable land: a 'two-state solution' which - though endorsed by the United Nations after the Second World War - has so far brought into being neither two states nor a solution. A highly readable and compelling account of Britain's rule in Palestine, Legacy of Empire is essential for those wishing to better understand the roots of this enduring conflict.
