Review:
"An informative (and enjoyable to read) overview of our current understanding of how memory changes with normal aging and what the future might hold for memory enhancement." --Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD, director, Neuroscience Imaging center, UCSF Neurology and Physiology, University of California, San Francisco
"Well-researched . . . presents a complex topic with clarity and humor." --Margaret Sewell, PhD, director, Memory Enhancement Program, Mount Sinai Hospital
"Oh how loved this book! Rarely do you find one that informs as it entertains; Martha Lear does both. I laughed out loud and was reassured to know that when my friends and I forget names (as we so often do), it's normal!" --Mary Tyler Moore
"Hallelujah, it's not Alzheimer's! It's Normal Memory Loss, and everyone over thirty must read WHERE DID I LEAVE MY GLASSES? by what's-her-name."--Patricia Volk, author of To My Dearest Friends and Stuffed
"With wit, insight, and comfort, Martha Weinman Lear takes you through the embarrassments and hilarities of dealing with normal memory loss." --Ethel S. Person, MD, professor of psychiatry and member of the Center for Psychoanyltic Training & Research, Columbia University
"Lear writes reassuringly . . . pungently and wittily. This book is more than informative; it is a pleasure to read." --Lewis P. Rowland, MD, professor of neurology, Neurological Institute, Columbia University Medical Center
