| Synopsis: |
A child crashes to the ground from the monkey bars head-first. A high school student prepares for months to take the SAT. A grandmother slowly slips away from her family through the deadly progression of Alzheimer s Disease. Whether we realize it or not, the importance of brain health to our daily lives goes far beyond just being able to walk and talk. "The Dana Guide to Brain Health" offers the first comprehensive home medical reference book on the brain, providing an unparalleled, authoritative guide to improving the fitness of our brains and, ultimately, enriching our lives.With contributions from over one hundred of the most prominent scientists and clinicians in the United States, "The Dana Guide to Brain Health" is an extensive and wholly accessible manual on the workings of the human brain. This richly illustrated volume contains a wealth of facts andadvice, on simple yet effective ways to take care of our brains; the intimate connection between brain health and body health; brain development from the prenatal period through adulthood; and how we learn, remember, and imagine. The brain is far too important to be excluded any longer from our daily health concerns. "The Dana Guide to Brain Health" remedies this oversight with a clearly written, definitive map to our brains that reveals how we can take care of them in order to sustain a long and rich life. " |
