In a book that is as fascinating as it is authoritative, Larry Squire and Eric Kandel explain the insights and breakthroughs that have illuminated the mysteries of memory. -- Daniel L. Schacter, Author of Searching for Memory Few areas of neuroscience are ready to boast of an understanding that spans from molecules to minds. Memory is ready, and Squire and Kandel, two of the leading researchers who got us there, take us on a delightful journey, explaining not just current facts but also the often fascinating history behind the big discoveries. I loved it and recommend this very readable and beautifully illustrated book to all who want to know how memory works. -- Joseph LeDoux, Author of The Emotional Brain
