- These Memories Do Not Belong to Us A Novel [electronic resource] : by Ma, Yiming.aut; CloudLibrary;
- For fans of American War and Cloud Atlas, a hauntingly beautiful and prescient debut novel set in a future where a renamed China is the sole global superpower and citizens can record and transfer memories between minds. When I was a boy, my mother used to tell me stories of a world before memories could be shared between strangers . . .      In a far-off future ruled by the Qin Empire, every citizen is fitted with a Mindbank, an intracranial device capable of recording and transmitting memories between minds. This technology gives birth to Memory Capitalism, where anyone with means can relive the life experiences of others. It also unleashes opportunities for manipulation: memories can be edited, marketed, and even corrupted for personal gain.      After the sudden passing of his mother, an unnamed narrator inherits a collection of banned memories from her Mindbank so dangerous that even possessing them places his freedom in jeopardy. Traversing genres, empires, and millennia, these memories once belonged to sumo wrestlers and social activists, armless swimmers and watchmakers, all struggling to survive amid the backdrop of Qin’s ascent toward global dominance. Determined to release his mother's memories to the world before they are destroyed forever, the narrator will risk everything—even if the cost is his own life.      Powerful and provocative, These Memories Do Not Belong to Us masterfully explores how governments and media manipulate history to control the collective imagination. It inspires us to see beyond the sheen of convenient truths, revealing stories of sacrifice and love that refuse to be eradicated.

- The fight for history : 75 years of forgetting, remembering, and remaking Canada's Second World War / by Cook, Tim,author.;
- "A masterful telling of the way World War Two has been remembered, forgotten, and remade by Canada over seventy-five years. The Second World War shaped modern Canada. It led to the country's emergence as a middle power on the world stage; the rise of the welfare state; industrialization, urbanization, and population growth. After the war, Canada increasingly turned toward the United States in matters of trade, security, and popular culture, which then sparked a desire to strengthen Canadian nationalism from the threat of American hegemony. The Fight for History examines how Canadians framed and reframed the war experience over time. Just as the importance of the battle of Vimy Ridge to Canadians rose, fell, and rose again over a 100-year period, the meaning of Canada's Second World War followed a similar pattern. But the Second World War's relevance to Canada led to conflict between veterans and others in society--more so than in the previous war--as well as a more rapid diminishment of its significance. By the end of the 20th century, Canada's experiences in the war were largely framed as a series of disasters. Canadians seemed to want to talk only of the defeats at Hong Kong and Dieppe or the racially driven policy of the forced relocation of Japanese-Canadians. In the history books and media, there was little discussion of Canada's crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic, the success of its armies in Italy and other parts of Europe, or the massive contribution of war materials made on the home front. No other victorious nation underwent this bizarre reframing of the war, remaking victories into defeats. The Fight for History is about the efforts to restore a more balanced portrait of Canada's contribution in the global conflict. This is the story of how Canada has talked about the war in the past, how we tried to bury it, and how it was restored. This is the history of a constellation of changing ideas, with many historical twists and turns, and a series of fascinating actors and events."-- Provided by publisher.

- Aging or Alzheimer's? : a doctor's personal guide to memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia / by Frumkin, Kenneth,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."Two of three Americans will experience cognitive impairment by the age of 70. But is it natural age-related forgetfulness, or the early indication of Alzheimer's Disease or other types of dementia? How worried should older people -- or their families and friends -- be about their memory loss? And what happens next? Kenneth Frumkin, PhD, MD, recently retired from a 36-year medical career and facing his own age -- and memory-related challenges, provides an empathetic and comprehensive guide to answering those questions. Aging or Alzheimer's? explains what is currently known about the challenges to memory and cognition that come with longevity. Dr. Frumkin describes the progression of Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias; discusses when to see a doctor and what to expect from the visit; weighs the pros and cons of available tests, treatments, and research; shares personal and passionate tips for coping with decline; and gives the best ways to preserve cognitive health. There are an average of 15 new Alzheimer's publications per day. While busy practicing doctors often wait for the consensus reviews of new Alzheimer's studies that are published about every 10 years, Dr. Frumkin provides evidence-based, up-to-date guidance from the most current memory research. The result is your complete, modern guide to understanding and managing your-or your loved ones'-memory loss or cognitive decline"--
