Memory: A Very Short Introduction

Memories are an integral part of being human. They haunt us, we cherish them, and in our lives we collect more of them with each new experience. Without memory, you would not be able to maintain a relationship, drive your car, talk to your children, read a poem, watch television, or do much of anything at all. Memory: A Very Short Introduction explores the fascinating intricacies of human memory. Is it one thing or many? Why does it seem to work well sometimes and not others? What happens when it "goes wrong"? Can it be improved or manipulated through techniques such as mnemonic rhymes or "brain implants"? How does memory change as we age?

Chemical Carcinogenesis

This volume will provide a contemporary account of advances in chemical carcinogenesis. It will promote the view that it is chemical alteration of the DNA that is a route cause of many cancers. The multi-stage model of chemical carcinogenesis, exposure to major classes of human carcinogens and their mode-of-action will be a focal point. The balance between metabolic activation to form biological reactive intermediates and their detoxification, ensuing DNA-lesions and their repair will be profiled. It will describe the chemical changes that occur in DNA that result from endogenous insults including epigenetic changes that lead to gene silencing.

Karen Horney and Character Disorder: A Guide for the Modern Practitioner

The revolutionary contributions of psychoanalyst Karen Horney hold special interest for today’s clinician. Her focus on the present-oriented treatment of character pathology offers the once-per-week practitioner a means of conducting meaningful deep treatment. And Horney’s feminist orientation and break from Freudians makes her a palatably critical analyst for the ages.

Through his use of clinical illustration, precise Horneyan interpretation and the application of Horney’s optimistic attitude toward patient change and growth, Dr. Solomon prepares practitioners to conduct Horneyan therapy and successfully treat character disorder, the most common dysfunction of our time.
