An international bestseller delivering good news on brain function and ageing

We all worry sometimes that our brains - particularly our

memories - just don't work as well as they used to. In this illuminating

book, internationally acclaimed Dutch neuroscientist Andre Aleman shows

that although the decline in our mental capacities begins earlier than

we think,

this is not such a bad thing. In fact, older people are more resistant

to the effects of stress, cope better with their emotions and with

complex situations, and are - generally speaking - happier than their

younger counterparts.

Our Ageing Brain will change the way we think about age

and mental acuity. Drawn from the latest research in cognitive science,

it outlines what takes place in the brain as we age, how to recognise

the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and how to distinguish fact

from fiction when it comes to ways of slowing down the ageing process.

It concludes with the seven most important things we can each do to keep

our brains healthy.

Published here in English for the first time, this is a

refreshing, informative, and ultimately reassuring examination of what

happens to our most important organ as we grow older.
