Behind the Scenes of Cutting-Edge Memory Research When Sue Halpern decided to emulate the first modern scientist of memory, Hermann Ebbinghaus, who experimented on himself, she had no idea that after a day of radioactive testing, her brain would become so “hot” that leaving through the front door of the lab would trigger the alarm. This was not the first time while researching Can’t Remember What I Forgot that Halpern had her head examined, nor would it be the last. Like many of us who have had a relative or friend succumb to memory loss, who are getting older, and who are hearing statistics about our own chances of falling victim to dementia, Halpern wanted to find out what the experts really knew, how close science is to a cure, to treatment, to accurate early diagnosis, and, of course, whether the crossword puzzles, sudokus, and ballroom dancing we’ve been told to take up can really keep us lucid or if they're just something to do before the inevitable overtakes us. Sharply observed and deeply informed, Can’t Remember What I Forgot is a book full of vital information and a solid dose of hope.

Cubism was a movement that changed fundamentally the course of twentieth-century art. It had far-reaching effects, both conceptual and stylistic, which are still being felt today. Described in 1912 by French poet and commentator Guillaume Apollinaire as 'not an art of imitation, but an art of conception', Cubism irreversibly altered art's relationship to visual reality. 'I paint things as I think them, not as I see them', Picasso said. Cubism and Australian Art examines for the first time the impact of this transformative art movement on the work of Australian artists, from the early 1920s to the present day. The authors argue that by its very nature, Cubism was characterised by variation and change, that the idea of a pure or original Cubism was short lived, and that its appearance in Australian art parallels its uptake and re-interpretation by artists internationally. In the words of French artist Andr Lhote, mentor to several Australians who studied at his Academy in Paris: 'There are a thousand defi nitions of Cubism, because there are a thousand painters practising it'. More than eighty international and Australian artists are showcased with over 300 works, featuring Sam Atyeo, Ralph Balson, Grace Crowley, Frank Hinder, Roger Kemp, Godfrey Miller, Stephen Bram and Daniel Crooks, as well as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Fernand L ger.
When Harlee finally made that hard choice, she knew that Grace would stand by her. Through the tears and the crying and the screaming in frustration, Grace always had been there. When a friendship turned into more, Harlee wasn't sure what to do. Should she run the risk of ruining a friendship she's had for 8 years just to try out a relationship? Does she take the chance when it could mean breaking up an 8 year team? A hard decision was an understatement but it was a choice she'd have to make. Zack Walker had been part of Harlee's band for what felt like forever. When he saw her relationship with Jake crumbling around her, all he wanted to do was jump in and save her from it all. After telling her that he'd spent his life waiting for her to be single, Harlee almost laughed him right out of the room. He'd had the typical rock star past full of one night stands and girlfriends who didn't mean much to him, but would she really hold all of that against him? When the right time came, he'd jumped at the chance to be with her, and wasn't about to give it up. When Grace saw Zack and Harlee together, part of her questioned it it was right, the other part questioned what Jake would do when he found out. She had to put her feelings aside when her relationship was rekindled with Kevin, but would she be able to hide Harlee's new love from Jake? She had to hide a lot from Kevin and Jake, but she knew that there was that chance that Harlee was going to lose it all. When you have to make the hardest choice ever, it better be what you want. Living with the hard choices was easy if it was the right choice and the right man.

I began writing this book in 2011 when I was living with my mother and step father in Rosny, Tasmania. My high school art teacher loved my poems, so I continued writing poems in my spare time. My technique varies and is totally freelance. I don't always use a set structure, sometimes I use verse or rhyme. I enjoy the freedom of writing poetry as there are no real rules. This book reflects my life experiences, from the mundane to significant events. I have drawn inspiration from reading, the dictionary is my best friend.

It's time the secret was out! For almost eight years, Sue Chance has written a monthly column for THE PSYCHIATRIC TIMES, a newspaper that goes to all psychiatrists in the U.S. (who've become accustomed to being shouldered aside by their secretaries & spouses, anxious to read Sue's column first since she's plainly speaking to them in her jargon-free, poetic & humorous style). In the words of Roy Menninger, Chairman of the Menninger Foundation, "The rare clarity of Sue's writing makes her work fascinating reading whatever the subject...In some quite remarkable way, she intimately engages the reader, sharing her understanding, an illuminating perspective, & an abundance of pithy thoughts that are genuinely wise." A VOICE OF MY OWN is a collection of 35 of her best columns, in which she talks about grief, humor, motherhood, spiritual issues, love & the sexes, anger, etc.--everything from "abandonment" to "Yeats" as per the index. As Harriet Lerner, author of THE DANCE OF ANGER, says, "This book is quite simply, wonderful reading. Sue Chance is a witty, honest, occasionally outrageous woman. She...also...speaks so plainly of the human heart that you'll find yourself responding, 'Yes! That's JUST what I would have said.'" To order call 1-800-484-2099 (4545) or contact Baker & Taylor.
