A Vanishing in Greenwich Village

By: Elisabeth Amaral

Ellie Allington is a successful Manhattan real estate broker. On the summer evening that she hosts dozens of guests for her husband Patrick's birthday, she decides she will no longer live with his infidelities. This determination begins to replace years of loneliness and depression with anger and the strength to find herself again. A few days after the party she receives a call from Valeria, apparently about real estate, inviting her to a nearby loft. However, Valeria has other, mysterious reasons for making contact. Ellie finds herself drawn to this delicate, beautiful woman and at Valeria's request prolongs her visit. That decision is a fateful one. When the actual owner arrives, he is accompanied by Antonio, a retired police detective. The power of Ellie's attraction to Antonio startles and overwhelms her. As their relationship begins, both of them are drawn into the web of Valeria's troubled past. This is a story about relationships-Ellie's relationships with her family, her tenants, real estate, and her ill-fated friendship with Valeria. It is the story of a woman rediscovering her strengths, her passion, herself. Most of all, it is a love story.

Czar Nicholas, The Toad, and Duck Soup

By: Elisabeth Amaral

The mid-1960s through the mid-1970s was a heady, turbulent time. There was a lot going on back then, and author Elisabeth Amaral was in the middle of it all: the fights for women's rights, racial equality, a music revolution, be-ins, love-ins, riots in the streets, the rage against the Vietnam War, and sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It was an amazing time to be young. In Czar Nicholas, The Toad, and Duck Soup, Amaral shares her recollections of those times. She narrates a coming-of-age story about herself and her husband as they embarked on an improbable journey of self-discovery. They gave up their jobs, moved with their infant son from New York City to Boston, unexpectedly started a children's boutique, and soon opened a popular restaurant in Harvard Square. With sincerity and humor, Czar Nicholas, The Toad, and Duck Soup offers a personal and revealing account that reaches out to those who find themselves striving to make a relationship work that, by its very nature, may be doomed. But this story is also one of friendship--and of finding the courage to move on. Praise for Czar Nicholas, The Toad, and Duck Soup "In her intimate and humorous memoir, Liz Amaral reveals the challenges of a young family establishing a home in Cambridge amid the tumult of the late 1960s. You will discover the disconcerting truth about her marriage and the painful path she takes to find herself again. A true adventure of the heart." --Kathrin Seitz, writer, producer, and coach

The Evolution of Memory Systems

Ancestors, Anatomy, and Adaptations

By: Elisabeth A. Murray,Steven P. Wise,Kim S. Graham

The Evolution of Memory Systems sets out a bold and exciting new theory about memory. It proposes that several memory systems arose during evolution and that they did so for the same general reason: to transcend problems and exploit opportunities encountered by specific ancestors at particular times and places in the distant past.

Developmental Neuropsychology

A Clinical Approach

By: Vicki Anderson,Elisabeth Northam,Jacquie Wrennall

This fully updated edition of Developmental Neuropsychology: A Clinical Approach addresses key issues in child neuropsychology with a unique emphasis on evidence-informed clinical practice rather than research issues. Although research findings are presented, they are described with emphasis on what is relevant for assessment, treatment and management of paediatric conditions. The authors focus on a number of areas. First, the text examines the natural history of childhood central nervous system (CNS) insult, highlighting studies where children have been followed over time to determine the impact of injury on ongoing development. Second, processes of normal and abnormal cerebral and cognitive development are outlined and the concepts of brain plasticity and the impact of early CNS insult discussed. Third, using a number of common childhood CNS disorders as examples, the authors develop a model which describes the complex interaction among biological, psychosocial and cognitive factors in the brain-injured child. Finally, principles of evidence-based assessment, diagnosis and intervention are discussed. The text will be of use on advanced undergraduate courses in developmental neuropsychology, postgraduate clinical training programmes and for professionals working with children in clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology and educational and rehabilitation contexts. The text is also an important reference for those working in paediatric research.

The Evolutionary Road to Human Memory

By: Elisabeth A. Murray,Steven P. Wise,Mary Kelly Lorene Baldwin,Kim S. Graham

We tend to think about memory in terms of the human experience, neglecting the fact that we can trace a direct line of descent from the earliest vertebrates to modern humans. This book tells an intriguing story about how evolution shaped human memory.
