MOONWALKING WITH EINSTEIN By JOSHUA FOER

"You must admire an author who uses chick sexing to facilitate the explanation of human memory. Foer is an intriguing figure, intelligent, and a breath of fresh air. He delves into complex topics with such a down-to-earth approach, seasoned with humour, yet with an authenticity that you don't realize until suddenly you grasp and understand what he's talking about. It's like a miracle." —Mary Roach, author of "Packing for Mars," "Bonk," "Spook," and "Stiff"

"In this remarkable book, Joshua Foer discovers a new genre of non-fiction. It's a work of science journalism wrapped in the form of an adventure story, a novel containing moral messages combined with real investigations into human memory. If you want to understand how you remember and how we can all learn to remember better, read this book." —Jonah Lehrer, author of "How We Decide" and "Proust Was a Neuroscientist"; contributing editor Wired

"Joshua Foer proves what only a few of us acknowledge: there's still much room in our brains, more than we ever imagined. 'Moonwalking with Einstein' is not a guide on how to remember a name or where you've placed your keys. This book is a captivating exploration of the centuries-long obsession of humanity with memory and one of humanity's impossible attempts to master itself." —Stefan Fatsis, author of "A Few Seconds of Panic" and "Word Freak"
