Authored by one of the world's leading authorities on the management of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, this highly illustrated atlas describes the colorful history of Alzheimer's disease, its neuropathological basis from structural brain imaging and post-mortem studies, and its devastating effects on perception, cognition, communication, and social behavior. The book will also place great emphasis on the increasingly identifiable risk factors for development of the disease, with a view towards prevention.
