«Onde deixei os meus óculos?» is the popular science essay by Martha Weinman Lear, published by Ideias de Ler in paperback (240 pages, in Portuguese).
The work starts from a common concern: middle-age forgetfulness, such as not remembering names, keys or one's own glasses. Martha Weinman Lear talks with neuroscientists, psychologists and biologists and weaves scientific findings together with everyday anecdotes to explain that these memory lapses are normal and often even amusing.
The Portuguese edition from Ideias de Ler was published in 2008; the cover subtitle is «O Como, Quando e Porquê da Perda de Memória». The original English title is «Where Did I Leave My Glasses?».
For those who recognize themselves in everyday forgetfulness and seek a popular explanation, with humor and a scientific basis, that helps put the concern into perspective.
