New Parkinson's Book

Four to six million people around the world suffer from Parkinson's disease, around 80,000 of them in Australia, making it one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. According to a study published in Neurology in 2007, the number of people living with Parkinson's in 15 of the world's largest nations will double over the next generation. (not sure how we cite texts - but is this The Journal of Neurology or Neurology?)

Living with Parkinson's explains the disease in an accurate and simple way. The book covers medical aspects of the disease, how to live with the diagnosis, coping day to day, relationships, advice for carers and trends in current research. It shows insight and empathy with stories of people diagnosed with Parkinson's, their partners, families and carers.

Written by medical journalist Gabriella Rogers and endorsed by Parkinson's Australia, the book provides a comprehensive view of Parkinson's. Cost is $27.00 (inc postage and GST) Please call 1800 644 189 to order your copy !
