Dancing fish and ammonites [large print] a memoir / by Lively, Penelope,1933-(CARDINAL)355181;
Includes bibliographical references (page 238)."The memory that we live with . . . is the moth-eaten version of our own past that each of us carries around, depends on. It is our ID; this is how we know who we are and where we have been." Memory and history have been Penelope Lively's terrain in fiction over a career that has spanned five decades. But she has only rarely given readers a glimpse into her influences and formative years. Dancing Fish and Ammonites trace the arc of Lively's life, stretching from her early childhood in Cairo to boarding school in England to the sweeping social changes of Britain's twentieth century. She reflects on her early love of archeology, the fragments of the ancients that have accompanied her journey--including a shard of Egyptian ceramic depicting dancing fish and ammonites found years ago on a Dorset beach. She also writes insightfully about aging and what life looks like from where she now stands.

A sense of self : memory, the brain, and who we are / by O'Keane, Veronica,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Part 1. How we make memories. Dawnings -- Sensation: The raw ingredient of memory -- Making sense -- The story of the hippocampus -- The sixth sense: The hidden cortex -- A sense of place -- Time and experiencing continuity -- Stress: Remembering and 'Forgetting' -- Part 2. How memory makes us. Self-recognition: The start of autobiographical memory -- The tree of life: Arborizations and prunings -- A sense of self -- Sex hormones and songbirds -- The shifting narratives of life -- False or true? -- The oldest memories."How do our brains store-and then conjure up-past experiences to make us who we are? A twinge of sadness, a rush of love, a knot of loss, a whiff of regret. Memories have the power to move us, often when we least expect it, a sign of the complex neural process that continues in the background of our everyday lives. This process shapes us: filtering the world around us, informing our behavior and feeding our imagination. Psychiatrist Veronica O'Keane has spent many years observing how memory and experienceare interwoven. In this rich, fascinating exploration, she asks, among other things: Why can memories feel so real? How are our sensations and perceptions connected with them? Why is place so important in memory? Are there such things as "true" and "false" memories? And, above all, what happens when the process of memory is disrupted by mental illness? O'Keane uses the broken memories of psychosis to illuminate the integrated human brain, offering a new way of thinking about our own personal experiences.Drawing on poignant accounts that include her own experiences, as well as what we can learn from insights in literature and fairytales and the latest neuroscientific research, O'Keane reframes our understanding of the extraordinary puzzle that is the human brain and how it changes during its growth from birth to adolescence and old age. By elucidating this process, she exposes the way that the formation of memory in the brain is vital to the creation of our sense of self"--
