Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Die Neuropsychologin Ylva Ostby und ihre Schwester, die Autorin Hilde Ostby, begeben sich auf eine Reise in die Welt der Erinnerungen und des Gedachtnisses. Ebenso unterhaltsam wie kompetent zeigen sie, wie Erinnerungen unser Leben lenken, wie sie sich beeinflussen lassen und unsere Identitat pragen. Sie erzahlen aus der Wissenschaftsgeschichte und sprechen mit weltweit fuhrenden Experten der Gedachtnisforschung. Vor allem aber beleuchten sie die personlichen Geschichten von Menschen, die deutlich machen, wie das Erinnerungsvermogen unser Leben bestimmt: Wind, der sich an nichts vor jenem Tag in seinem 27. Lebensjahr erinnert, an dem er in einem Zug in China >>aufwachte<<; Adrian, der als Uberlebender des Terrorangriffs auf Utoya lernen musste, wie man traumatische Erinnerungen bezahmt; Judy, die sich als Taxifahrerin muhelos im Labyrinth der Strassen Londons zurechtfindet; oder Asbjorn Rachlew, der als Kriminalbeamter die Psychologie des Erinnerns studierte und die Rechtsprechung eines ganzen Landes gerechter machte. Fur ein Experiment schicken sie zehn Taucher auf den Grund des Oslofjords, und sie versuchen sich sogar daran, gezielt falsche Erinnerungen zu erzeugen. Am Ende des Buches geht es um unsere Zukunft - denn auf sie Einfluss zu nehmen, ist der eigentliche Grund, warum wir ein Gedachtnis haben.…

Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Entre la vida marina y el cerebro humano hay un gran trecho, pero existen algunas similitudes entre los caballitos de mar y el hipocampo. Así como los caballitos de mar machos incuban los huevos en la barriga hasta que las crías puedan salir al mar y valerse por sí mismas, el hipocampo es una especie de incubadora de recuerdos: cuida de ellos y los retiene hasta que sean lo suficientemente grandes y fuertes para poder arreglárselas solos. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
