Abstract: Memory: From Mind to Molecules represents the skillful attempt by Larry Squire and Eric Kandel to explain the cellular processes involved in the formation and consolidation of memories. Clearly written and masterfully presented, Memory guides the reader through complicated material step by step, such that even non- scientific readers will find the journey worth their while; those with advanced scientific backgrounds, however, will not be disappointed. As one of the first attempts to link research in the behavioral sciences with research in neurobiology, Memory highlights issues of interest to any reader who desires to understand the inner workings of the mind. And in the field of applied linguistics, understanding the neurobiological processes involved in learning and memory has become in- creasingly important.
