A dazzling mix of science and storytelling,
Diving for Seahorses: The Science and
Secrets of Memory is a deep dive into
the mysterious world of one of the most
amazing human abilities: our memory.
In writing this book, Norwegian sisters
Hilde and Ylva Østby have brought their
singular perspectives as a writer and a
neuropsychologist together, and the result
is immensely rewarding. Their investigation
into society’s evolving understanding of
memory begins with the discovery of the
hippocampus by Venetian doctor Julius
Caesar Aranzi in 1564 – the seahorse of the
book’s title – and from here, the book spans
outwards to share a sprawling array of
fascinating personal stories from scientists,
taxi drivers, chess champions and more.
