Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Stated First Edition, 4th printing. 510pp. Bright & tight copy, appears unread, in Very Good+ condition. "Memory binds our mental life together. We are who we are in large part because of what we learn and remember. Whether comforting or haunting, persistent or fleeting, memories are a sort of mental time travel, freeing us from the constraints of time and space. We can recall at will our first love experience--the occasion, the setting, the accompanying thoughts and emotions. How does the brain create memories? Until a few decades ago, the very idea that memory and other aspects of the human mind could be explained through biological analysis and understood through molecular interactions was unthinkable. Since then, the biological study of the mind has become not only a viable possibility but also a reality. [] Charting the intellectual history of the emerging biology of mind, Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel explains the revolutionary landmarks of modern biology and illuminates how behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology have converged into a powerful new science of the mind. Scientists are now positioned to provide meaningful and nuanced insights into mental functioning--from perception, thought, emotion, and memory to schizophrenia, depression, and age-related memory loss. These windows into the mind also open the way to more effective healing. [] Driven by vibrant, engaging curiosity, Kandel's personal quest to understand memory is threaded throughout this absorbing intellectual history. . ." [jacket copy] "IN SEARCH OF MEMORY is a scintillating mix of memoir, history of science, and fundamental biology without peer. It shows compellingly what first-rate science is and how it is created."--E. O. Wilson. "Kandel, who received the Nobel Prize in 2000, traces advances in understanding learning and memory. His own groundbreaking findings showed that learning produces changes in behavior by modifying the strength of connections between nerve cells. He conveys his immense grasp of the science beautifully, but it is his personal recollections that make the book especially compelling. He begins with his searing childhood memories of the German annexation of Austria and his family's escape to the U.S. when he was nine. And he ends with a conference he organized in Vienna to examine the strange reluctance of Austria (unlike Germany) to acknowledge its role in the Holocaust. One comes away in awe of the scientific advances and of a life well and fully lived."--Scientific American. Near-pristine VG+ hardcover w/some slight smudges, penciled previous owner's erasure, brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright Near Fine jacket.
