Authored by one of the world's leading authorities on the management of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, this highly illustrated atlas describes the colorful history of Alzheimer's disease; its neuropathological basis from structural brain imaging and post-mortem studies; and its devastating effects on perception, cognition, communication, and social behavior. The book will also place great emphasis on the increasingly identifiable risk factors for development of the disease, with a view towards prevention.

"The scope of the Atlas of Alzheimer's disease is broad [?] We recommend it to all clinicians-and clinicians in training-who are involved in the diagnosis and care of patients with AD, because it will increase their insight into this already widespread disorder." Wiesje M van der Flier and Philip Scheltens, The Lancet Neurology, Vol. 7, January 2008
