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.
