"By turns science popularization and cultural history, it's written for a general audience and narrated with a storyteller's urgency. His speculations about medical research sometimes wander into futurist, Wired magazine territory, but his quirky intellectual excitement adds to, rather than detracts from, the pathos of his story. In the end, like many great storytellers, he becomes part of the story himself. For what could be more tragically human than a human mind striving to comprehend the possibility of its own dissolution?" Publisher's noteA study of the devastating impact of Alzheimer's disease combines portraits of patients, their families, and caregivers with an analysis of the signs, symptoms, and implications of the disease and a close-up look at the search for a cure. AnnotationWith an arsenal of facts to back him, Shenk covers the Alzheimer's story--historical accounts of the disease as found in literature and art, the alarming statistics thrown out by demographers, and the scientific race to find a cure to this personality-destroying disease.
