"In Contextualizing Human Memory, Stone and Bietti have drawn together a collection of work that asserts the central role context plays in human memory... This is not simply a miscellaneous collection of essays... [This] book is concerned less with reviewing historical issues and more with the rpesent and future of interdisciplinary memory research. It highlights the scale of what context represents in memory research but also provides a strong case for its serious examiniation and indicates the kind of vital insights such an endeavour can yield." -Andrew Hart, Lecturer, Unviersity of Bradford, The Psychologist
