Summary: "Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and ultimately fatal brain disorder that ravages a person's memory and identity, and can cripple the families left as caregivers. More than 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's, but those numbers are about to rise dramatically, and a frightening public health crisis now looms, threatening to bankrupt the American health system, economy, and spirit."--shoppbs.org
