Krátky popis
For readers of Atul Gawande, Siddhartha Mukherjee, and Henry Marsh,
a riveting, gorgeously written biography of one of history's most
fascinating and confounding diseases--Alzheimer's--from its
discovery more than 100 years ago to today's race towards a cure.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2017 Named
",Science Book of the Month", by BooksellerAlzheimer's is the great
global epidemic of our time, affecting millions worldwide -- there
are more than 5 million people diagnosed in the US alone. And as
our population ages, scientists are working against the clock to
find a cure. Neuroscientist Joseph Jebelli is among them. His
beloved grandfather had Alzheimer's and now he's written the book
he needed then -- a very human history of this frightening disease.
But In Pursuit of Memory is also a thrilling scientific detective
story that takes you behind the headlines. Jebelli's quest takes us
from nineteenth-century Germany and post-war England, to the
jungles of Papua New Guinea and the technological proving grounds
of Japan, through America, India, China, Iceland, Sweden, and
Colombia. Its heroes are scientists from around the world -- many
of whom he's worked with -- and the brave patients and families who
have changed the way that researchers think about the disease. This
compelling insider's account shows vividly why Jebelli feels so
hopeful about a cure, but also why our best defense in the meantime
is to understand the disease. In Pursuit of Memory is a clever,
moving, eye-opening guide to the threat one in three of us faces
now.
