   A neurologist whose father suffers from Parkinson's provides a 
   layreader-friendly explanation of the disease, its history, development, 
   treatment and modern advances that may ultimately lead to a cure. 
   Rosenbaum's professional view is as a clinical neurologist who regularly 
   cares for patients with the progressive neurological deterioration 
   caused by Parkinson's Disease. His personal experience with his father, 
   a retired surgeon, further powers his quest to give patients, family 
   members and caregivers what they need to know. Topics covered include 
   challenges of correct diagnosis, variations in prognosis, investigations 
   of causes including exciting progress in possible toxins and genetic 
   factors that play a role, and different treatment options including 
   natural remedies as well as new drugs for symptom treatment. Rosenbaum 
   also explains research efforts to find a preventative drug, modern 
   surgical options, and hopes for stem cell or gene therapy. In this work, 
   Rosenbaum blends historical and medical research with illustrations from 
   the patients in his professional life, and from his dad on the 
   homefront, to give us a clear and comprehensive understanding of 
   Parkinson's. He also includes writing from and attention to well-known 
   individuals affected by this disorder--among them actor Michael J. Fox.
