    In Search of Memory
    Memory binds our mental life together. We are who we are in large part because of what we learn and remember. But how does the brain create memories? Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel intertwines the intellectual history of the powerful new science of the mind - a combination of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology - with his own personal quest to understand memory. A deft mixture of memoir and history, modern biology and behavior, In Search of Memory brings readers from Kandel's childhood in Nazi-occupied Vienna to the forefront of one of the great scientific endeavors of the twentieth century: the search for the biological basis of memory.

    Orfan: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 614min

    Masquerade , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
    Ed Lewis writes an America that transcends war, peace, and the strange combined turbulence of racism, poverty, and madness that makes up America in the 21st century. With deft strokes he gives us characters that haunt us like black-and-white photos: jet-setters, troubled teenagers, Vietnam vets, migrant workers, and ordinary people. His stories are inhabited by the Americans of Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. One wonders how a Hollywood producer dipped his fingers in the unearthly fissuring fabric of the American everyman. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Evan.

    The Art of the Infinite: The Pleasures of Mathematics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min
    The Art of the Infinite takes infinity, in its countless guises, as a touchstone for understanding mathematical thinking. Robert and Ellen Kaplan guide us through the “Republic of Numbers,” where we meet both its upstanding citizens and its more shadowy dwellers; and transport us across the plane of geometry into the unlikely realm where parallel lines meet. The journey is enriched by deft character studies of great mathematicians (and equally colorful lesser ones). And as we go deeper into infinity, we explore the most profound mystery of mathematics: Are its principles eternal truths that we discover? Or ones that we invent? ungekürzt. Language: English.
