5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly Recommended, Very Reader Friendly,
By RUSSELL A JENKINS (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Memory Cure : How to Protect Your Brain Against Memory Loss and Alzheimer's Disease (Hardcover)
This recently released book on Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most reader friendly book I've come across in quite a while. I've seen this book first-hand, and it is impressive. It describes the complicated neurology of the brain in an easy to follow manner. Also, Dr. Fotuhi describes (in plain language) the latest AD research findings and discusses their implications. If I had to recommend only two books on Alzheimer's disease for caregivers it would be this one and, "The 36-Hour Day." In contrast to some books on AD, Dr. Fotuhi's book is optimistic. Not only does he describe how AD develops, but more importantly he discusses what people can do to reduce their individual risk factors for developing AD. I find myself constantly recommending this book to all the families of patients participating in AD research projects I coordinate.

Great tricks to improve memory!,
By Valerie Franklin (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Memory Cure : How to Protect Your Brain Against Memory Loss and Alzheimer's Disease (Hardcover)
I found this book very easy to read, well researched, and super useful! Fotuhi really knows his stuff. The best part for me was the chapter on the practical steps that can be taken to sharpen one's memeory. The ATTENTION formula is easy to adopt and very effective. While I can't say my memory is already sharper, I am more aware of what's going on up there and what can be done to make sure everything continues to work like fine oiled machine.VF
