Forgetting : myths, perils and compensations

by Douwe Draaisma, Liz Waters

brief_description
In this compelling new book he turns to the "miracle" of forgetting. Far from being a defect that may indicate Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, Draaisma claims, forgetting is one of memory's crucial capacities.
