working memory is the key to all that and more. They present
important recent findings, including research on how Facebook can
help with working memory, how working memory can improve your kids'
grades, how it changes as you age, and how working memory is linked
with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and Alzheimer's. The Alloways describe
their Jungle Memory program, which Ross created to help children
improve their working memories, and is rapidly being embraced by
the education community. Most importantly, they share the best
news: you can improve your memory Their book provides three tests
to find out how good your working memory is--and more than fifty
targeted exercises designed to help readers both process and
memorize the information to maximize effectiveness.

Guardian THE BOOK THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN For Alice and
Hanna, saint and sinner, growing up is a trial. There is their
mother, who takes a divide-and-conquer approach to child-rearing,
and their father, who takes an absent one. There is also their
older brother Michael, whose disapproval is a force to be reckoned
with. There is the catastrophe that is never spoken of, but which
has shaped everything . . . As adults, Alice and Hanna must deal
with disappointments in work and in love as well as increasingly
complicated family tensions, and lives that look dismayingly
dissimilar to what they'd intended. They must look for a way to
repair their own fractured relationship, and they must finally
choose their own approach to their dominant mother: submit or burn
the house down. And they must decide at last whether life is really
anything more than (as Hanna would have it) a tragedy with a few
hilarious moments. From the author of the Waterstones Book of the
Month Our Fathers comes a compelling domestic comedy about complex
family dynamics, mental health and the intricacies of sibling
relationships. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING 5* 'I adored this book' 5*
'A brilliant novel about a dysfunctional family' 5* 'This book blew
me away' 5* 'Loved, loved, loved this! Laugh-out-loud funny and
beautifully poignant' 5* 'The best book i've read this year'
