This is an excellent book about how memory works. It is written in a very comprehensible way in layman terms although it is about something that not even scientists know how exactly it works.

It presents in a simple but not simplistic way all the latest approaches and studies about memory. The most rewarding element of the book is that it combines research from many different fields. The title is very appropriate too, since it really tells us about memory in real life as opposed to the world of the laboratories and science rooms. There are eleven units in the book and nine of them are about different kinds of memory, for example, memory for faces, for music, for language etc. Another good point is that it is very accessible.

I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the matter either directly or indirectly. Especially teachers like me will find it particularly useful.
