In an experiment that occurred some forty years ago, Henry M.'s memory was stolen from him during a highly controversial operation performed to cure his epilepsy. Henry has lived in the immediate present ever since, unable to connect a past moment with the next, incapable of retaining or recalling any physical or emotional experience.

Philip J. Hilts -- one of the few people to spend time with Henry, who is sequestered in a hospital -- draws on Henry's bizarre situation as well as current cutting-edge research into the functions of the brain in a revealing investigation of
-- How an individual's memory is constructed
-- When and why memory fails
-- The efficacy of mnemonic devices
-- The validity of "recovered" memories

Part poetic reflection and philosophical meditation, part popular science and investigative journalism, Memory's Ghost is an unforgettable journey into the mysteries of the human mind.

Beautiful, Subtle, Long Lasting Sparkle
Color: #3 Rose Gold
Sprays easily and seems long lasting, (stayed on for more than 3 hours of light household work). The glitter is very fine, and that’s exactly what I wanted, it is not visible dots or shapes- my arms just sparkled when I moved them and with the changing light. Feels like nothing is there. Nice! Doesn’t feel especially moisturizing, but hasn’t dried my skin out either.

Great to have this on hand
Color: #3 Rose Gold
I bought the rose gold to add some shimmer to my body and hair. It's the right amount of shimmer to stand out. Looks super cute, it sticks easily and when you wash it off, the glitter comes off easily. The smell isn't the best, but it isn't terrible. I just use my own fragrance after I put this on. I love the glow it gives my skin and the shimmer it gives my hair. I'm going to buy this product again. Second time buying this and I love it!

4 out of 5
Color: #3 Rose Gold
I loved the glitter. It doesn't leave me feeling gross and sticky. The color is very pretty. The little pieces of glitter are really fine which goes well on clothes and the whole nine. The only thing is, the spray bottle is sad. I had to switch it into a different bottle to actually apply. Overall, I really liked it. I feel like I got what I paid for.
