Rating: Summary: Learning a memory science Review: Because of the previous review I must comment on this book and some of the information provided within. Supermemory -in some ways- is a how-to book for memory. What is available in this book is a rich depository of valuable theories, experiments, well-known scientists, and a rich bibliography. Also contained in this book is the explanation of Superlearning, which is a method of using music and specifically timed beats of which any persons may recite material to be learned. This book is very special because of the valuable resources, and of the specific material provided. I still look to this book as being a modest bible for human memory. This book is not particularly a "how-to" book on improving your memory, but is in most part a record of experiments, health, references, and valuable accounts of scientists and brain researchers. Scientists and brain researchers talked about in this book include: Dr. Bob Beck, Patrick Flanagan, Vladimir Raikov, Carl, Schroeder, Jack Schwartz, Georgi Lazanov, Rupert, Sheldrake, Hans Selye, Edgar Cayce, and many, many others. Some topics in this book include: Russian mind control, Neuroscience, ESP, Psychometry, Quantum Healing, Reincarnation, SALT, meditation, and a great deal more. This book does cover a wide range of topics regarding memory. I believe that if the information contained in this book is learned, utilized, and further studied, one can better improve memory and health. I believe that this was the main-focus of the authors. This book contains a lot of valuable information. One person cannot simply follow 3 easy steps in order to improve your memory, and I believe memory is a work in progress. One might realize, at this moment in time, many of the topics discussed in this book are very much being practiced, used, and theorized to this day. When written this book was leading the path for the new science of memory. Of course this new science of memory continues, and is very strong, to this very day. One of the finest books ever written on the subject of memory.
Rating: Summary: Not exactly filled with explanations . . . Review: I find this book similar to someone telling a person what it's like to do something really well by saying "You just have to feel it--I can't explain it." Plenty of examples of infant and child (as well as some adult) prodgies are given, but what would be more interesting is to find out how you could get the same results as these people did, but all you're left with is the feeling that you have to be "born with it". Don't waste your time or money.
