A forward-thinking contribution to the field of dementia and is commendable for its goal of striving beyond overly simplistic, formulaic conventions. It would be well placed on the library shelf of the curious and contemplative cognitive clinician.
A major contribution to dementia research... An excellent reference text for those exploring both the uncharted areas of research and some of the clinical aspects of dementia.
A valuable addition to our understanding of the conditions that erode our memory.
Timely publication... Stimulating and thorough coverage.
A thorough, current discussion of the various aspects of dementia, possibly the best now available.
A major contribution to dementia research... Should be read by all scientists and clinicians interested in these important diseases associated with aging.
Emery and Oxman have done a valuable service by documenting the pitfalls in our current understanding of dementia. They are preparing the way for a new synthesis.
This book is authoritative on the subject of dementia and every clinician who sees patients with this rather debilitating and progressive illness will find this very resourceful. Once you start reading you feel compelled to continue turning the pages till the very last.
