books about: memory     books:       Memories, Dreams, Reflections50 reviews C.G. Jung Vintage, 1989 Intensity-his mind was flooded with profound ideas This book is sublime, a GEM. In his subjective view of the world -"with half closed eyes and somewhat closed ears, to see and hear the form and voice of being" he arrived at an inspiring insight about life: supreme meaning of being can consist only in the fact that is,not that it is not or is no longer; nature, the mystery of love, the psyche, life, human beings, a state of lively contemplation ...             The Memory Keeper's Daughter836 reviews Kim Edwards Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006 How one decision can haunt us This book is about how one secret decision slowly but surely haunted everyone involved. It masterfully weaves a story of how a family's lives were changed after a tragedy, one shrouded by deceit and guilt. A decision is made by Dr. Henry to protect his family, but incidiously tears at each of them through the years. While some may find this book to be tedious, I found it to thoroughly develop ...             Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez71 reviews Richard Rodriguez Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2004 Among the Educated Esteemed a classic, this work has the merit, upon first reading, of making the reader feel he has been initiated into the long lost tribe of truth tellers, something akin to the book readers of Fahrenheit 451. We meet somebody for whom education is a real thing, something that is life changing, enlightening, and it estranges him from his family, and of course from all people, because the ...             Where Memories Lie: A Novel (Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Novels)8 reviews Deborah Crombie William Morrow, 2008 "Yesterday her life had cracked open and there could be no putting it back."

A family with a history of bipolarism, secrets and tragedies. Mystery and supsense will keep you turning the pages. I found it disturbing but insightful. A mothers love with a fine line of insanity.             In Search of Memory: The Emergence of a New Science of Mind47 reviews Eric R. Kandel W. W. Norton, 2007 From a reader severely lacking in scientific formation... Had Eric Kandel been my Science teacher back in High School, I would've probably picked Medicine or Biochemistry as my BA, instead of English. This book took me quite long to read -about 3 months-, both due to second-language interference (English is not my native language) and to my nearly complete ignorance regarding even basic biology and chemistry. Yet, despite having had to make an effort ...             The Memory Book: The Classic Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at Play75 reviews Harry Lorayne, Jerry Lucas Ballantine Books, 1996 Most important book you could give a student I went from nearly failing college to a solid 3.3 overall, 3.5 last 2 years, on a 4 point scale, working more than full time and going to school full time, with this book. 20 pages of method, the rest is application. I learned it in one night, during an all nighter where I also caught up from being 4 lessons behind in an intensive language course. I never had to do an all nighter again, and I ...             Memory in Death (In Death)91 reviews J.D. Robb Berkley, 2006 More "In Death," please! I loved this installment of the "In Death" series because we finally get a glimpse into Eve's life after she killed her father. Eve was in foster care, and the woman she was sent to live with was a piece of work. She tormented the children in her care, and wasn't above fraud and other crimes. When she learns of Eve's marriage to wealthy Roarke, she sees her chance at the big time. She shows ...             Your Memory : How It Works and How to Improve It41 reviews Kenneth L. Higbee Da Capo Press, 2001 Best Memory Book out there I have read many memory books, and none even compare to the work of Dr. Higbee. Most overpromise and underdeliver. As a matter of fact, they seem to sell copies more because of the claims they make than the results they deliver. This book is just the opposite: no grandiose claims, just a better memory. The book is very logically organized, and makes for easy reading/comprehension. The author ...             The Memory of Running: A Novel155 reviews Ron McLarty Viking, 2004 Exceeded my expectations This book had been on my list - but it took a friend to get me to read it. It has an unlikely hero - a middle aged man who has spent most of his adult life in a dead-end job, drinking and eating himself to a likely early grave. He is very authentic and endearing as his life is disclosed on his unplanned bicycle journey across the country. The pace of the book is great. This is a good book ...             The Project Management Memory Jogger: A Pocket Guide for Project Teams (Growth Opportunity Alliance of ...2 reviews Paula Martin, Karen Tate Goal/QPC, 1997 A must-read for anyone who manages projects. Whether you work on huge, complex, international projects for one of the Fortune 50 or you are putting together a family reunion, you will find something of value in this little book.

These two consultants have written a project management book for ...             Topical Memory System3 reviews Navigators NavPress Publishing Group, 2006 Great Investment This has been helpful for me in connecting with God on a daily basis. I keep mine on the dash of my car so I can remember to review it every day. It's a pretty basic system. Not much to it. You have to commit yourself to spending time with it each day, but it's worth it. Since I started I've been able to recall a passage I had memorized to help me process through a problem I was having. It helped ...             Speak, Memory (Everyman's Library (Cloth))43 reviews Vladimir Nabokov, Brian Boyd Everyman's Library, 1999 Bewitching. Personally, I like everything Nabokov did if only because reading him makes me a better writer. He is a "master stylist" cut from the cloth of James Joyce (in terms of his innovation and talent) who challenges his audience at every turn. When devouring his fiction, I am sure that there are many things I miss due to my being no great genius of literary analysis, but time with Nabokov is invariably ...             Mosby's Pharmacology Memory NoteCards: Visual, Mnemonic, and Memory Aids for Nurses11 reviews JoAnn Zerwekh, Jo Carol Claborn, ...

It is a very moving story and it tells about the culture of Haiti. It tells of Sophie growing up and some parts are sad but I really enjoyed this book, and read it in one day. I would read it again. I donated this one to a local supermarket for Juvenille ...             Ageless Memory: Secrets for Keeping Your Brain Young - Foolproof Methods for People Over 507 reviews Harry Lorayne Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2008 You can improve your memory, regardless of your age I typically have difficulty remembering three things: names, faces and the third thing . . . geez, I can never remember that third thing.
