Everyday Memory
90
 
 

Everyday MemoryThis book presents an authoritative overview of memory in everyday contexts. Written by an expert team of international authors, it gathers together research on some of the more neglected but revealing areas of memory, to provide a comprehensive overview of remembering in real life situations.

Contributions from leading experts deal with a variety of important questions concerning everyday memory, from under-researched areas such as memory for odours, to more well known areas, like collective memory. Topics covered also include:
* Beliefs about memory and the metaphors used to discuss memory
* The relation between self-referent beliefs and actual memory
performance
* The development of autobiographical memory.

Everyday Memory summarises current knowledge and presents new interpretations and hypotheses to be explored by future research. It discusses aspects of human memory which are frequently ignored or dealt with only very briefly by ordinary textbooks and as a result will have a broad appeal for researchers and students.

altThe strengths and weaknesses of human memory have fascinated people for hundreds of years, so it is not surprising that memory research has remained one of the most flourishing areas in science. During the last decade, however, a genuine science of memory has emerged, resulting in research and theories that are rich, complex, and far reaching in their implications. Endel Tulving and Fergus Craik, both leaders in memory research, have created this highly accessible guide to their field. In each chapter, eminent researchers provide insights into their particular areas of expertise in memory research. Together, the chapters in this handbook lay out the theories and presents the evidence on which they are based, highlights the important new discoveries, and defines their consequences for professionals and students in psychology, neuroscience, clinical medicine, law, and engineering.

Understanding Journalism
"Because the book is written by an intelligent theorising practitioner, students of both practical 'journalism' and theoretical 'media studies' should find it invaluable as a reference work, a first-aid kit and a revision tool."
--Harriet Gilbert, City University

Never has the media been so critically regarded as at the present time. Documenting many areas of debate and dispute between journalists, the media, public organizations and politicians, Wilson identifies why conflicts will continue. Understanding Journalism covers issues that range in topic from government bias and censorship, to animals rights and obscenity. This informative work is a valuable guide to all those involved in journalism and the media. Based on the first hand experience of a journalist, it covers all areas that make journalism controversial in the eye of the general public.
