What is Alzheimer's, Anyway?
[1 February 2008 - Human Values in Aging Newsletter] What's the difference between Alzheimer's Disease and normal brain aging? That provocative question is addressed in the new book THE MYTH OF ALZHEIMER'S: What You Aren't Being Told about Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (St. Martin's Press, 2008), by Peter Whitehouse, M.D. and Daniel George. More about this ground-breaking book. See also the film "Almost Home" inspired by the work of Tom Kitwood, pioneering advocate for "person-first" care of dementia, as well as the Eden Alternative approach. More on the film and related activities. See also THE MAGIC TAPE RECORDER, by Joyce Simard, is a book intended to help children understand cognitive challenges of aging. More

Many thanks for mentioning our book and linking to our website. Would you possibly be willing to post a review on amazon? Peter and I greatly appreciative when people give the book a chance rather than simply reacting emotionally to the provocative title. Many thanks,
take care,
Danny George
