About this title: This "important and marvelous book" ("The New York Times") gives Eric Kandel's account of how his personal quest to understand memory intersected with the emergence of a new science. It relates the story of how four distinct disciplines - behaviourist psychology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience and molecular biology - converged into a powerful new science of mind. Kandel's multifaceted perspective was the foundation for his path-breaking research that will continue to dominate modern thought - not only in science but in culture at large.

"An intelligent young Jew escapes the Nazis, plays soccer at Harvard, and then searches for the roots of episodic memory by studying how sea slugs ignore his repeated poking. He writes a good textbook, grows old and wins the Nobel Prize. He also learns a little something about himself along the way. Good for history of Neuroscience stories."
"THought it would be a little more technical? But he tells the story of his search of becoming a researcher. It is a neat story, allows one to see the things that build who we become no matter the circumstances we become what we are willing to work hard for. Everyone has their own unique path, even this guy.."
"This is very readable yet also very thorough introduction to the science of mind presented as a history of the scientific discoveries that brought it into being. The book paints a vivid picture of how science works, or at least how this particular scientific culture works. So it's interesting for those interested in the history and philosophy of science as well. My only complaint is that towards the end the chapters become much less vivid, less science oriented and more speculative. They aren't are enjoyable as the rest of the book."
