In Pursuit of Memory: The Fight Against Alzheimer's
Joseph Jebelli
Alzheimer's is the great global epidemic of our time, affecting millions worldwide. One in three of us will develop it. There are currently 850,000 people with the diagnosis in the UK alone. And as our populations age, scientists are working against the clock to find a cure. At once a biography of the disease and a fascinating scientific detective story, In Pursuit of Memory takes you on a thrilling (and hopeful) hunt for answers inside the human brain.
