"Starred Review: Changes in brain function are an inevitable part of the aging process, but what is normal and what signals a problem? Internist Simmons, neuropsychologist William E. Mansbach, and eldercare expert Jodi Lyons provide a wealth of information, beginning with a brief overview of the brain's anatomy and physiology, followed by a discussion of both normal and abnormal aging signs. Delirium, different types of dementia, diagnosis and treatment options, along with case histories provide readers with facts that are easy to understand. They also detail methods for lowering the risk of cognitive decline with diet, exercise, and proper health care. Chapters on managing expectations, caregiving, and sexuality, in addition to a glossary and reading list, provide further helpful material. An excellent resource for public and consumer health libraries as well as for caregivers." - Library Journal
