Originally published in 1953, What Shall I Read Next? lists nearly 2000 works published after 1900, with the compiler's own appreciatory comments on selected items. It was a companion volume to Mr Seymour Smith's English Library. Both books are published on behalf of the National Book League. In his introduction, explaining the scope and purpose of the book, Mr Seymour Smith wrote: 'Some will find it useful merely as a shopping list, reminding them of books they know something about already, and serving as a remembrancer. To others, and particularly to younger readers, it may introduce books which have so far escaped their notice. It is hoped, too, that for booksellers and librarians it will have a practical use as a desk-book, for answering enquiries, for serving as a check list for stock, and for use as a reference book when memory fails'.

There is a growing theoretical and practical interest in the topic of metacognition; how we monitor and control our mental processes. Applied Metacognition provides a coherent and up-to-date overview of the relation between theories in metacognition and their application in real-world situations. As well as a theoretical overview, there are substantive chapters covering metacognition in three areas of application: metacognition in education, metacognition in everyday life memory and metacognition in different populations. A diverse range of topics are covered such as how we judge our own learning, why we create false beliefs about our past, how children learn to monitor and control their memory, how well eyewitnesses can judge the accuracy of their own memories and how memory judgements change across the lifespan. The book has contributions from many of the leading researchers in metacognition from around the world.

Rock Magnetism, first published in 1997, is a comprehensive treatment of fine particle magnetism and the magnetic properties of rocks. Starting from atomic magnetism and magnetostatic principles, the authors explain why domains and micromagnetic structures form in ferromagnetic crystals and how these lead to magnetic memory in the form of thermal, chemical and other remanent magnetizations. The phenomenal stability of these magnetizations, providing a record of plate tectonic motions over millions of years, is explained by thermal activation theory. One chapter is devoted to practical tests of domain state and paleomagnetic stability; another deals with pseudo-single-domain magnetism. The final four chapters place magnetism in the context of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and extraterrestrial rocks. This book will be of great value to graduate students and researchers in geophysics and geology, particularly in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, as well as physicists and electrical

In the past few years elliptic curve cryptography has moved from a fringe activity to a major challenger to the dominant RSA/DSA systems. Elliptic curves offer major advances on older systems such as increased speed, less memory and smaller key sizes. As digital signatures become more and more important in the commercial world the use of elliptic curve-based signatures will become all pervasive. This book summarizes knowledge built up within Hewlett-Packard over a number of years, and explains the mathematics behind practical implementations of elliptic curve systems. Due to the advanced nature of the mathematics there is a high barrier to entry for individuals and companies to this technology. Hence this book will be invaluable not only to mathematicians wanting to see how pure mathematics can be applied but also to engineers and computer scientists wishing (or needing) to actually implement such systems.

The recent attempt to move research in cognitive psychology out of the laboratory makes autobiographical memory appealing, because naturalistic studies can be done while maintaining empirical rigor. Many practical problems fall into the category of autobiographical memory, such as eyewitness testimony, survey research, and clinical syndromes in which there are distortions of memory. Its scope extends beyond psychology into law, medicine, sociology, and literature. Work on autobiographical memory has matured since David Rubin's Autobiographical Memory appeared in 1986, and the timing is right for a new overview of the topic. Remembering our Past presents innovative research chapters and general reviews, covering such topics as emotions, eyewitness memory, false memory syndrome, and amnesia. The volume will appeal to graduate students and researchers in cognitive science and psychology.

Numerical Recipes: The Art of Scientific Computing was first published in 1986 and became an instant classic among scientists, engineers, and social scientists. In this book the original, time-tested programs have been completely reworked into a clear, consistent Pascal style. This represents a significant improvement to the immensely successful programs contained in the first edition, which were originally written in Fortran. The authors make extensive use of pointers, dynamic memory allocation, and other features utilized by this language. The explanatory text accompanying the programs replicates the lucid, and easy-to-read prose found in the original version, and incorporates corrections, improvements, and explanations of special Pascal features. The product of a unique collaboration among four leading scientists in academic research and industry, Numerical Recipes in Pascal fills a long-recognized need for a practical, comprehensive handbook of scientific computing in the Pascal la

記憶是創傷療癒的核心問題。治療師必須探究患者的過去如何在當下上演，才能幫助患者獲得一個更好的未來。但是，如果沒有理解創傷是如伺變成一種記憶的痕跡印刻在軀體、大腦、心靈、精神和靈魂上，治療師肯定會迷失方向。 創傷記憶完全不同於其他普通的記憶。普通記憶是會隨時間改變和衰退的生命故事，創傷記憶則是再現身體感覺與動作，伴隨強烈的恐懼、羞恥、憤怒和崩潰等消極情緒。 《創傷與記憶：身體體驗療法如何重塑創傷記憶》講述的是我們如何學會應對那些揮之不去的記憶，將它們從痛苦和暴行中釋放。作者萊文博士創立的身體體驗療法現已成為西方心理創傷治療的主流療法。一些傳統療法鼓勵再次重現創傷來“消退”對創傷的條件反應，卻有很大的風險讓過去那些極端的痛苦被強化，身體體驗療法則是創造一個新的體驗與極端的無助體驗重新協商，並以一種對身體體驗和反應的控制感替代它。 《創傷與記憶：身體體驗療法如何重塑創傷記憶》有許多案例，詳盡闡述瞭如何將身體體驗療法的原則付諸實踐，不僅可以運用在創傷受害者身上，例如車禍倖存者，還可以運用在新生兒、幼兒、學齡兒童和戰爭軍人身上。 儘管《創傷與記憶：身體體驗療法如何重塑創傷記憶》面向針對創傷記憶進行工作的心理治療師，但它同樣寫給所有努力從自己過往揮之不去的記憶中解脫出來的人，以及那些渴望獲得長久內心平和的人。它也寫給對記憶如何掌控我們的生活、記憶的巨大模糊性、記憶令人費解的不確定性以及記憶的一切如何運轉進行的科學與臨床研究感興趣的讀者。
