Two of the most interesting aspects of cognitive theory—especially from a viewpoint of psychoneural reduction—are attention and memory. Thereby, this book is a good introduction to the latter issue with a structured overview of various aspects of how our brains remember things and then pull those memories back up as needed (and, of course, sometimes when not needed). Well-written and easy-to-follow, this volume is geared towards the graduate student but is handy also for the researcher and could be used in undergraduate course-work, too. The combination of quality writing and Dr. Eichenbaum's expertise in the field makes it both easy enough to follow and quite insightful in most regards.

Very in depth, not for your average layman. I have a bachelor's degree in neuroscience and even to me this was a more difficult, yet rewarding, read. Definitely a book to take notes of and study, probably will require a re-read to grasp all of the content
