This is the Japan of fifty years ago observed and described by the poet James Kirkup. Always having felt himself at odds with much of English society he found the attitudes he encountered among the Japanese so compelling that after this, his first visit and taste of its academic life, he returned and spent the rest of his life there, dying in 2009. I first read this book many years ago and now I read it again I find it has not lost its incisiveness. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Even as you read these words, a tiny portion of your brain is physically changing. New connections are being sprouted--a circuit that will create a stab of recognition if you encounter the words again. That is one of the theories of memory presented in this intriguing and splendidly readable book, which distills three researchers' inquiries into the processes that enable us to recognize a face that has aged ten years or remember a melody for decades. Ranging from experiments performed on the "wetware" of the brain to attempts to re-create human cognition in computers, In the Palaces of Memory is science writing at its most exciting.
