â ˜A gripping read as well as an important one.â ™ Rana Mitter, Guardian In October 1839, Britain entered the first Opium War with China. Its brutality notwithstanding, the conflict was also threaded with tragicomedy: with Victorian hypocrisy, bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration. Yet over the past hundred and seventy years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding episode of modern Chinese nationalism. Starting from this first conflict, The Opium War explores how Chinaâ ™s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present, and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West. â ˜Lively, erudite and meticulously researchedâ ™ Literary Review â ˜An important reminder of how the memory of the Opium War continues to cast a dark shadow.â ™ Sunday Times

This publication has several modest goals: We shall describe how we conceptualised religious memory for the purposes of qualitative and quantitative survey research, and we shall explain how we operationalised religious communicative and cultural memory and why we believe that the questionnaire we designed and present here can also be applied in other contexts outside Czech society. Given the volume of data we obtained, we want to present at least a portion of our results and show what types of findings were achieved through our conceptualisation and operationalisation of religious memory. Finally, we want to present non-Czech-speaking readers with a comprehensive work describing changes in religiosity in Czech society, in this case from the perspective of memory studies. In other words, we want to offer an international audience a piece of work broader than just a journal article focusing on the study of religion in the Czech Republic.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Truly fascinating. Steve Wright, BBC Radio 2- Have you ever forgotten the name of someone youâ ™ve met dozens of times?- Or discovered that your memory of an important event was completely different from everyone elseâ ™s?- Or vividly recalled being in a particular place at a particular time, only to discover later that you couldnâ ™t possibly have been?We rely on our memories every day of our lives. They make us who we are. And yet the truth is, they are far from being the accurate record of the past we like to think they are. In The Memory Illusion, forensic psychologist and memory expert Dr Julia Shaw draws on the latest research to show why our memories so often play tricks on us â “ and how, if we understand their fallibility, we can actually improve their accuracy. The result is an exploration of our minds that both fascinating and unnerving, and that will make you question how much you can ever truly know about yourself. Think you have a good memory? Think again. A spryly paced, fun, sometimes frightening exploration of how we remember â “ and why everyone remembers things that never truly happened. Pacific Standard

The Site of Memory describes Toni Morrisonâ ™s work of literary archaeology. She offers insights into how she arrives at a text through the act of imagination, which is bound up with memory. Showing how she explores two worlds, the actual and the possible, she follows the journey of an image from picture to meaning to text via the nimbus of emotion surrounding it.Exploring the radical possibilities of literature and the limits of history, Morrison finds a truth deeper than documentation in the silences and omissions in African American narratives of the past. Fiction, for Morrison, is a practice of ethical restoration: a means to recover what history has neglected through the â ˜floodingâ ™ of a rush of imagination. In The Site of Memory, ancestral presence, emotion and imagination converge.If writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning, it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic.

This unique and brilliant book is a history of human knowledge.Before the invention of printing, a trained memory was of vital importance. Based on a technique of impressing places and images on the mind, the ancient Greeks created an elaborate memory system which in turn was inherited by the Romans and passed into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, during the Renaissance.Frances Yates sheds light on Danteâ ™s Divine Comedy, the form of the Shakespearian theatre and the history of ancient architecture; The Art of Memory is an invaluable contribution to aesthetics and psychology, and to the history of philosophy, of science and of literature.

In the race to be first in describing the lost generation of the 1980s, Geoff Dyer in The Colour of Memory leads past the winning post. We re not lost, one of his hero s friend s says, we re virtually extinct . It is a small world in Brixton that Dyer commemorates, of council flat and instant wasteland, of living on the dole and the scrounge, of mugging, which is merely begging by force, and of listening to Callas and Coltrane. It is the nostalgia of the DHSS Bohemians, the children of unsocial security, in an urban landscape of debris and wreckage. Not since Colin MacInnes s City of Spades and Absolute Beginners thirty years ago has a novel stuck a flick-knife so accurately into the young and marginal city. A low-keyed style and laconic wit touch up The Colour of Memory. The Times
