Use It or Lose It! How to Keep Your Brain Fit as It Ages

by Allen D. Bragdon

Otherwise inaccessible results of current brain research are revealed in this book, making it possible for a layperson to use these valuable findings in the real world in order to refresh diminishing memory skills. Interactive instruments-puzzles, games, and self-tests-based on current cognitive research stimulate and renew a wide range of mental abilities, from math to map reading. This book shows how the gradual toll aging exacts on cognitive skills can be slowed down and even reversed, just as aerobic condition and muscle mass can be rebuilt.

والله لم الكذب ؟! حتي القبر ها أها ... كتاب مستفز بكل معني الكلمة ، به من المعلومات القيمة و الجميلة و المفيدة بكل تأكيد ، ولكن و عذرا عذرا اسمحوا لي بهذه اللكن!! كانت الألغاز بالكتاب بواحد منهم خطأ و آخر لم افهمه ، و نعم تقصيرا من عقلي و أيضا للترجمة أو اختلاف اللغة للتدقيق ، أيضا و كذلك و نعم و لذا ، لم يكن الشرح كافي وافي موصل للمعلومة بسلاسة و كمال .



أحتاج إلي إعادة صقل مهاراتي في الألغاز مجددا ، هذا ما خرجت به .
شكرا .
