杜威·德拉埃斯马(Douwe Draaisma),1953年生于荷兰,专攻人类记忆本质和运作方式的研究。1999年因记忆研究上的成就,荣获海曼斯奖(The Heymans Prize)。现任荷兰格罗宁根皇家大学(University of Groningen)心理系教授。主要著作 有《记忆的隐喻》等,皆被译成十多国语言。
Entertaining and educational, Douwe Draaisma's Why Life Speeds Up As You Get Older raises almost as many questions as it answers. Draaisma applies a blend of scholarship, poetic sensibility and keen observation in exploring the nature of autobiographical memory, covering subjects such as déjà-vu, near death experiences and the effect of severe trauma on memory recall, as well as human perceptions of time at different stages in life. A highly accessible and personal read, this book will not fail to touch or provoke thought in its readers.
