Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novelist and a neuroscientist uncover the secrets of human memory. What makes us remember? Why do we forget? And what, exactly, is a memory? With playfulness and intelligence, Adventures in Memory answers these questions and more, offering an illuminating look at one of our most fascinating faculties. The authors—two Norwegian sisters, one a neuropsychologist and the other an acclaimed writer—skillfully interweave history, research, and exceptional personal stories, taking readers on a captivating exploration of the evolving understanding of the science of memory from the Renaissance discovery of the hippocampus—named after the seahorse it resembles—up to the present day. Mixing metaphor with meta-analysis, they embark on an incredible journey: “diving for seahorses” for a memory experiment in Oslo fjord, racing taxis through London, and “time-traveling” to the future to reveal thought-provoking insights into remembering and forgetting. Along the way they interview experts of all stripes, from the world’s top neuroscientists to famous novelists, to help explain how memory works, why it sometimes fails, and what we can do to improve it. Filled with cutting-edge research and nimble storytelling, the result is a charming—and memorable—adventure through human memory.

Since that week in 1966 he remembers the day of the week every day occurred on, what the weather was in his locale, the Philadelphia South Jersey area. It includes news and personal events. When people first hear about this they think it must be fun to remember every vacation. Along with every kiss, and every accomplishment along with he date that they happened. Yet he remembers every bad day on jobs, every romantic breakup and all the negative things too. This book will take you through all the adventures, and all the travesties that Frank went through. It includes descriptions of the mental gymnastics that enabled him to know the day of the week dates occurred back to 1752. The book includes exercises so you can try the tricks that he used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures With An Interdimensional Psychopath: An Introduction To Madness By: Wayne Keeler The Author Wayne Keeler wanted to challenge the impossible and to try and open the imagination of people to see possibilities and think outside the box. The author is an advent philosopher and one strong theory that he mulls around thinking about is the Alternate Dimensional theory, which basically states that when a decision is made, infinite and endless possibilities branch off, creating alternate worlds that can vary either very drastically or very minimally. The only thing that limits the possibilities is one’s own imagination. But, while this can be a dual edged sword, this can also lead to truly wondrous and beautiful ideas that can bring about a beautiful world. Join Lily Extravagund on her adventure with an interdimensional psychopath to see the worlds in a new light. Lily Extravagund was a normal girl, studying and preparing for her future in the upper echelon. A simple tool to be used to help her sister get a step higher, until she runs into a complete and utter strange stranger. When she confronts them, it’s at this moment that when her world gets turned upside down and inside out. When things start looking up, they immediately spiral in ways beyond imagination. When her life hits the lowest possible point, the stranger intervenes again to introduce her to new possibilities that changes her life forever. With these changes, she could never go back to seeing how things were again.

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller—the outrageous exploits of one of this century's greatest scientific minds and a legendary American original. Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.
