Forgotten Ideas, Neglected Pioneers

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In this interesting and unique book, Schacter (Harvard) examines the sociopsychological factors that determine one's recognition in the scientific world and provides a historical accounting of the study of memory. . Highly recommended for college and university libraries." -- P. Barker, emerita, Schenectady County Community College in CHOICE, May 2002.
"A fascinating story, told with narrative vigor and scholarly depth, and an important contribution to the history of the study of the human mind." -- Steven Pinker, Peter de Florez Professor of Psychology, MIT, and author of How the Mind Works.
"This wonderful book contains two treats - a fascinating biography of a nearly forgotten figure in memory research, and an engaging discussion of the history and psychology of science. Written by one of the leading researchers on human memory, the book is beautifully written, informative, and full of interesting observations about how science works." -- Larry R. Squire, Professor of Psychiatry, Neurosciences and Psychology, University of California, San Diego and VA Medical Center, San Diego
