Review:
The Handbook of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias is an impressively broad and in-depth compendium of the rapidly growing knowledge about the dementing disorders. A notable feature of this text is the comprehensive treatment of specific cognitive and behavioral domains that characterize dementia. The Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Center and their many collaborators in this Handbook have contributed a welcome addition to the literature. John C. Morris, Washington University School of Medicine
