Memory: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Why do we remember events from our childhood as if they happened yesterday, but not what we did last week? Why does our memory seem to work well sometimes and not others? What happens when it goes wrong? Can memory be improved or manipulated, by psychological techniques or even 'brain implants'? How does memory grow and change as we age? And what of so-called 'recovered' memories? This book brings together the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, and weaves in case-studies, anecdotes, and even literature and philosophy, to address these and many other important questions about the science of memory - how it works, and why we can't live without it.

Spomienky bratislavského rodáka A. Romi Cohna na jeho detstvo a mladosť. Narodil sa v Bratislave koncom 20-tych rokov (rodina bývala na Vysokej ulici). V prvých kapitolách sa sústreďuje na rodinný život, spomína na vtedajšie pomery v Bratislave. V druhej polovici 30-tych rokov. Na základe svojich skúseností opisuje, ako sa po nástupe nacistickej ideológie menil vzťah bratislavských úradov a obyvateľov voči židom. Ťažiskom sú osudy najbližších rodinných príslušníkov, najmä ale Cohnove osobné zážitky v priebehu holokaustu: skrývanie, útek k partizánom a život medzi nimi. Pozornosť venuje aj prvým mesiacom po oslobodení a februáru 1948 v Bratislave. Po roku 1948 emigroval do Kanady a neskôr do USA. V New Yorku sa stal významným podnikateľom v stavebníctve (vybudoval viac ako 15000 domov). Napriek utrpeniu a osudom rodiny nestratil vieru a žije naďalej ako silne veriaci ortodoxný žid, ktorý neskrýva obdiv k životu a dielu Chatama Sofera. Pôsobí aj ako mohel a urobil niekoľko tisíc obriezok. Jeho skúsenosti využívajú aj newyorské nemocnice, kam ho často volajú v zložitých situáciach ako konzultanta. Svoj vzťah k Bratislave prejavil na prelome milénia, kedy sa ako predseda Medzinárodného výboru pre záchranu hrobov mudrcov z Bratislavy rozhodujúcou mierou pričinil o záchranu cintorína a vybudovanie dnešnej podoby memoriálu Chatama Sofera.
How to Read Chinese Paintings
The Chinese often use the expression du hua, "to read a painting," in connection with their study and appreciation of such works. This volume closely "reads" thirty-six masterpieces of Chinese painting from the encyclopedic collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to reveal the major characteristics and themes of this rich pictorial tradition. The book examines multiple layers of meaning-style, technique, symbolism, past traditions, and the artist's personal circumstances-through accessible texts and numerous large color details. A dynastic chronology, map, and list of further readings supplement the text.
Spanning a thousand years of Chinese art, these landscapes, flowers, birds, figures, religious subjects, and calligraphies illuminate the main goal of every Chinese artist: to capture not only the outer appearance of a subject but also its inner essence.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
In the overcrowded world and cramped space colonies of the late 21st century, tedium can be endured through the use of the drug Can-D, which enables the user to inhabit a shared illusory world. When industrialist Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new drug, Chew-Z, which is far more potent than Can-D, but threatens to plunge the world into a permanent state of drugged illusion controlled by the mysterious Eldritch.
THE THREE STIGMATA OF PALMER ELDRITCH is, by universal consent, one of his three key novels, and the book in which he first took his perennial interest in the fragile nature of reality to a new level of imaginative intensity.
