The study of how we think, and feel has undergone a transformation due to our ability to image the human brain. That transformation is described through the life experience of Michael Posner, a central figure, in making the transformation possible. During his three years at Washington University in St. Louis, the first studies were carried out that allowed us to observe individual mental operations by seeing the brain networks active when we listened or read words. These pictures of the living human brain while it thought, were fundamental to the resulting world-wide effort to image brain activity throughout life. Neuroimaging allowed us to observe in less than a second the brain networks that shift attention from one object to another, from thought to thought and how our emotions come to influence our thoughts. Posner was founding director of an Institute in New York city that examined how neural networks involved in attention developed from infancy. The Institute helped bring pediatric neuroimaging to study brain development. Together with his colleague and frequent co-author Prof. Mary K. Rothbart, interventions were designed to see if networks related to the development of the child's ability to control their own thoughts and behavior could be enhanced by training. The book also describes studies designed to improve adult self control and how the findings could be applied to those suffering from mental problems.Following retirement from teaching, and together with colleagues at the University of Oregon, the book describes studies using optogenetics in mice to understand how the physical structure of the human brain activity might change with some forms of training. These studies allow us to actually see the changes in individual connections magnified 16,000 times.The final chapter discusses not only Posner's personal legacy in the members of his family, but also the current status and future prospects of understanding early development of cognitive and emotional control, how we learn and the mechanisms of consciousness. All question to which he contributed and hopes for greater understanding in the future. This volume is intended to give a personal description of how events influenced the life and thought of a single individual. Hopefully, a large group of people care what has been learned about the human mind from these efforts. Understanding the transformation in psychology might influence what we are able to teach to the next generation.

Love comes in many colors. Intermingled hues are impregnated in the bowels of my soul. Blue suns rescind the day with sparks of orange sadness. Violet songs sing green molded melodies. Beads of gold chain my tears. I am the proprietor of red-hot sadness. Embarrassed flecks of yellow, tan warmth, pink love. Discreet gray fogs black/white reality. Silver mirrors impound my eyeballs. Chameleon white petrifies my smile. I am a purple savage parasite hooked into the insidious glycerin universe. Many colors come in love.

Trout Love is the third and final novel in the gritty, fast-paced Eddy Trout Series. It is preceded by Trout Kill (2013) and Trout Run (2017) and, together, the three linked stories narrate Eddy's struggle to overcome his tragic past and discover a new, more loving heart. The Series takes place over the course of a few months in the late 1990s in rural Oregon. Eddy, 47, the father of two college-age girls, is a former Vietnam vet, bartender and logger. He's divorcing his wife, Beth, after more than twenty years of marriage. He's haunted by his war experiences, but more so by the memories of the sexual abuse he and his sister, Emily, 50, suffered as children at the hands of their Uncle Silas, who tried to pass himself off as their father. In their teens, Eddy and Emily murder Silas, drowning him in the Tyee River. Years later, they learn their real father is Pence Trout, an author who's adopted the pen name of Spencer Gatz. Spencer has written a tell-all memoir, Night Drives, that reveals to Eddy the many tragic aspects of their past: how their mother, Rose, died at the hands of an incompetent doctor; why Spencer abandoned them on the very day of Eddy's birth in 1950; and so much more. In Trout Love, the county sheriff suspects Eddy of, among other things, killing Spencer and burying him in Spencer's garden. Yes, Eddy may have wanted to kill his father, who's sick with cancer, but the disease beats him to the punch. When Eddy returns to Spencer's log-built hilltop home in rural Oregon, he wants to question Doris Henquist, Spencer's life-partner, about his father's past. Doris is sympathetic. Through her, Eddy learns that his father's will has left everything--the house, a well-equipped workshop, the garden, eighty wooded acres and an old rowboat--to him and Emily. But do they want any of it? Emily, who's now got a life of her own, does not. Eddy does not either, at least initially, but events eventually begin to change his mind. The rowboat, he discovers, is named Rose, after his mother. And then when he meets Felice Navarro, the homeless woman Doris has taken in, friendship blossoms. Felice, Eddy soon learns, has her own haunted past. She sings and plays the guitar, too, and Eddy, charmed, wants to learn how to strum and sing. Felice is an able teacher. Together, through music, friendship and growing intimacy, Eddy and Felice begin to heal their wounded hearts. In Trout Love, Eddy finds love.
