Title: Forgotten ideas, neglected pioneers
First published: 2001
Description: "Richard Semon was a German evolutionary biologist who, during the first decade of the twentieth century, wrote two fascinating analyses of the workings of human memory that were ahead of their time. This book not only examines Semon's contribution to memory research, but also tells the story of an extraordinary life set against the background of a turbulent period in European history and major developments in science and evolutionary theory.

The resulting book is an engaging blend of biographical, historical and psychological material."--BOOK JACKET.
