The Forgetting: Alzheimer's: Portrait of an Epidemic Tapa blanda - 2003
de David Shenk
In this scrupulously researched, multilayered account, the author explores treatments for Alzheimer's, but also looks back through history, showing how the disease most likely afflicted such figures as Jonathan Swift, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Willem de Kooning. "A graceful, masterful portrait of an illness."--"Los Angeles Times."
Información de la editorial
Descripción de la solapa
Afflicting nearly half of all persons over the age of 85, Alzheimer's disease kills nearly 100,000 Americas a year as it insidiously robs them of their memory and wreaks havoc on the lives of their loved ones. It was once minimized and misunderstood as forgetfulness in the elderly, but Alzheimer's is now at the forefront of many medical and scientific agendas, for as the world's population ages, the disease will kill millions more and touch the lives of virtually everyone.
The Forgetting is a scrupulously researched, multilayered analysis of Alzheimer's and its social, medical, and spiritual implications. David Shenk presents us with much more than a detailed explanation of its causes and effects and the search for a cure. He movingly captures the disease's impact on its victims and their families, and he looks back through history, explaining how Alzheimer's most likely afflicted such figures as Jonathan Swift, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and William de Kooning. The result is a searing, powerfully engaging account of Alzheimer's disease, offering a grim but sympathetic and ultimately encouraging portrait.
