约书亚·福尔 目前居住在马萨诸塞州布鲁克莱恩,是一位多才多艺的自由记者和作家,主要关注与科学相关的主题。 他于1982年9月23日出生于华盛顿特区,出身于一个显赫的家庭。 他的母亲埃丝特·福尔 (Esther Foer) 担任第六和一历史犹太教堂的主任,而他的父亲阿尔伯特·福尔 (Albert Foer) 创立并领导了智库美国反垄断研究所。

约书亚·福尔 的学术之旅将他带到了耶鲁大学,并于 2004 年毕业并获得了生态学和进化生物学学士学位。2005 年,当他以记者身份参加美国记忆锦标赛时,他对竞争性记忆的迷人世界产生了兴趣。 次年,即 2006 年,约书亚·福尔 (Joshua Foer) 不仅参加了比赛,还成为美国记忆冠军,在“速度卡”比赛中以令人印象深刻的 1 分 40 秒记住了一副 52 张卡片,创下了美国的新纪录。

这一成就是他对竞争性记忆进行更广泛探索的一部分,在此期间,他在英国记忆大师埃德·库克的指导下进行了学习。 约书亚·福尔 (Joshua Foer) 将他非凡的记忆力归功于记忆宫殿的创建和助记符的使用,展示了对增强人类记忆中信息保留和检索的学习技术的深刻理解。

虽然约书亚·福尔 (Joshua Foer) 的积极参与仅限于 2006 年美国记忆锦标赛,但他在 2011 年 3 月出版的第一本书《与爱因斯坦一起月球漫步》中记录了他迷人的旅程和见解。 叙事,同时试图揭示人类思维的真正能力。 值得注意的是,《与爱因斯坦月球漫步》入围 2012 年英国皇家学会温顿科学图书奖决赛,巩固了约书亚·福尔作为科学和记忆研究领域著名作家的地位。

书的描述

Moonwalking with Einstein pdf 约书亚·福尔

The Art and Science of Remembering Everything

Foer's extraordinary transformation from a consistently forgetful science journalist to the U.S. Memory Champion sets the stage for a fascinating exploration of the profound and often overlooked influence of memory on every facet of our lives. On average, people spend forty days each year compensating for forgotten things, and Joshua Foer was once among them. However, after a year of dedicated memory training, he found himself competing in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. More significantly, Foer unearthed a crucial truth that tends to elude us: in every meaningful aspect, we are the accumulation of our memories.

"Moonwalking with Einstein" delves into state-of-the-art research, an unexpected cultural history of memory, and age-old tricks of the mentalist's craft to revolutionize our comprehension of human recollection. Guided by elite "mental athletes," Foer explores ancient techniques employed by Cicero to memorize speeches and Medieval scholars to memorize entire books. Rediscovering nearly forgotten methods, Foer reveals that we all have the capacity to significantly enhance our memories. Immerse yourself in the eccentric subculture of competitive memorizers, and you'll learn that memorization is far from being a mere routine. From the PAO system, which transforms numbers into vivid images, to the memory palace, where memories are stored in the rooms of imaginary structures, Foer's journey demonstrates that the World Memory Championships evaluate not just memory but also perseverance and creativity.

Taking his investigation beyond the realm of mental athletes, Foer traverses the country and explores the depths of his own mind. He encounters an amiable elderly man in San Diego with one of the most severe cases of amnesia on record, revealing that memory is simultaneously more elusive and more dependable than we assume. In Salt Lake City, Foer exchanges insights with a savant who claims to have memorized over nine thousand books. Visiting a high school in the South Bronx, he discovers a history teacher utilizing ancient memory techniques to give students an advantage in the state Regents exam. At a time when electronic devices have nearly rendered individual memories obsolete, Foer's endeavor to revive the forgotten art of remembering becomes an urgent quest.

"Moonwalking with Einstein" not only propels Joshua Foer to the pinnacle of the U.S. Memory Championship but also guides readers toward a profound appreciation of a gift we all possess but frequently overlook.
