Easily readable Alzheimers book for general public

This is the best book I've found on Alzheimers for the general public. It offers tentative hope (which is all that is warranted now). Other books have been very depressing. This is a good overview of where we are now in knowledge of this disease.

This is not meant to be a technical book for researchers. It is aimed towards those with friends and family who are dealing with Alzheimers.

For those dealing with this disease, the stages of Alzheimers are clearly listed. The book differentiates the symptoms of ALzheimers from normal forgetting. This is very helpful information that is not presented as well elsewhere.

A must-read!!!! If you only are going to buy one book on this subject-- your search is over! This is truly a gem!!! Informative, intelligent, compassionate!!!

Excellent book on Alzheimer's Disease

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in understanding what is currently known about Alzheimer's disease, the history of it, the research on it, the symptoms of it, and more. This book is easy to read and doesn't get you lost in scientific lingo. It was very helpful to me. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to understand the disease and what the medical community knows and doesn't know about this debilitating illness.
