Our Ageing Brain by Andre Aleman
Drawing on the research, this book tells you what takes place in the brain and why, how to recognise the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and how to distinguish fact from fiction when it comes to ways to slow down the ageing process. It concludes with the seven things you can do to keep your brain healthy.
'I particularly recommend Our Ageing Brain by André Aleman.. who clearly explains how wrong many of our assumptions have been about the workings of older brains.' -- Sir Muir Gray
'A book you can't put down, no matter how old you are.'
* Psychologie magazine *'An invaluable description of the ageing brain.'
-- Dick Swaab, author of We Are Our Brains'[A] remarkably cheerful book, full of facts revealed by new research, positive anecdotes about astonishing wrinklies, and some very good life-style advice.'
-- Nick Goldie * Comma-Monaro Express *
