"Brain structure and cognitive function in normal aging as well as
in Alzheimer's disease is the focus of an excellent multi-authored
volume, Handbook of the Aging Brain. An enormous amount of data is
summarized leading to the overall conclusion that Alzheimer's
disease is not simply a more serious or rapid extension of the
normal aging process...[Handbook of the Aging Brain] is strongly
recommended for those with considerable knowledge of neurobiology,
Alzheimer's disease, aging, and brain disorders." --CONTEMPORARY
PSYCHOLOGY
"In conclusion, the book is a collection of reviews that offers the
most recent advances in the field, and the cahpters are
well-written, well-organized, and well-referenced. The book is a
very good source for both clinicians and research workers."
--JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY
