Trade ReviewA Choice Outstanding Academic Book "An excellent book that provides an in-depth phenomenological and philosophical study of memory." --Choice "... a stunning revelation of the pervasiveness of memory in our lives." --Contemporary Psychology "[Remembering] presents a study of remembering that is fondly attentive to its rich diversity, its intricacy of structure and detail, and its wide-ranging efficacy in our everyday, life-world experience... genuinely pioneering, it ranges far beyond what established traditions in philosophy and psychology have generally taken the functions and especially the limits of memory to be." -- The Humanistic Psychologist
