Product Information

Canada's bestselling science writer illuminates the mysteries of Alzheimer's disease, one of the most puzzling and debilitating conditions of the modern eraIt is a wicked illness that robs its victims of their memories, their ability to think clearly and, ultimately, their lives. For centuries, those afflicted by Alzheimer's disease have been forced to suffer its devastating effects while family members sit by, watching their loved ones disappear a little more each day, until the person they used to kw is gone forever. The disease was first described by pioneering German neurologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906. One hundred years and a great deal of scientific effort later, much more is kwn about Alzheimer's, but it still affects millions around the world, and there is cure in sight.In The End of Memory, award-winning science writer Jay Ingram charts the history of the disease from before it was ted by Alois Alzheimer right through to the twenty-first century, as researchers continue to search for a cure. In the spirit of Siddhartha Mukherjee's The Emperor of All Maladies, this book is for those who want to find out the truth about an affliction that courses through families and, in some cases, inexplicably affects people early in their lives.
