Summary: Old news
Review: As a social worker, I really treasure books that provide excellent background information while speaking to the issues that people really care about. This book does this and more. It is a comprehensive and exhaustive resource on the current state of Alzheimers research, diagnosis, and treatment and it also provides several real family vignettes that have the realities that many face in an honest and postive (yes positive) manner. For example, it tells the story of a Stanford Professor who is diagnosed with Alzheimers in his late 50s/early 60s and his wife who struggle to care for him and her eventual decision to place her husband in residential care. It also tells of their continued love affair and how both of their lives change and adapt to living with Alzheimers. Of note it include information about wide range of community resources which will surely be helpful to families facing similar circumstances.

Review: I was very disappointed in this book. I didn't gain any new information from it. The information was basically a repeat of everything we already know about Alzheimer's Disease.

Summary: Great current info book
Review: I work in a continuing care retirement community and I also have a grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's almost 4 years ago. This is the best book with the most current information I have read in a long time. I especially enjoyed reading the stories of how other caregivers have coped with caring for their loved ones with this disease. People with elderly parents or grandparents would benefit greatly by reading this book. This disease has already claimed 4 million across America and in the next 20 years will take over as many as 14 million. Very easy to understand and it offers some great general and detailed info on Alzheimer's disease.

Summary: Yes there is . . .
Review: This is probably the best thing to come out since "The 36 Hour Day." Which, by the way, I found very useful. It's amazing that more has not been written about this devastating illness. Having had many in my family who have and are suffering, I found "There's Still a Person in There" to be quite useful. Lately I've been reading everything I can find on Alzheimer's there still seems to be questions. I've even read some fiction lately dealing with loss and grief, and Alzheimer's-Jackson McCrae's "The Children's Corner" has two excellent stories in it about the disease.
