Into the Mist

When Someone You Love Has Alzheimer's Disease

By: Deborah Uetz

Into the Mist, When Someone You Love Has Alzheimers Disease answers the questions that come along with an Alzheimers diagnosis. As Alzheimers reaches epidemic proportion more and more families are searching for answers that will best equip them to meet their needs and those of the Alzheimers patient. What are the symptoms of the early stages of Alzheimers disease? When should someone stop driving? Why is my loved one becoming withdrawn and insecure? Are hallucinations an occurrence with Alzheimers disease? Does Medicare or Medicaid cover expenses? How do I cope with the stress of constant care giving? Is Alzheimers disease fatal? Many other topics are addressed by leading Aging experts, researchers and a Neuropsychologist. Along with factual information the reader will be told the stories of three families caring for a loved one from the earliest stages to the last stages. Their personal accounts put a human face on the challenges of Alzheimers care giving. Jack, Frank and Shirleys stories are told by their daughters and they illustrate the commonalities and the differences among Alzheimers patients and the way their families handle their most difficult challenges. The book began as a personal journal but grew into a comprehensive resource for Alzheimers caregivers as well as a compilation of information from researchers, psychologists, Aging experts and families coping with this devastating illness all over the world. As you walk into the mist of Alzheimers disease this book serves as a roadmap because of the life lessons of others who have traveled this road before you. Deborah Uetz wwww.intothemist.us

Phylogeny, Ecology, and Behavior

A Research Program in Comparative Biology

By: Daniel R. Brooks,Deborah A. McLennan

The merits of this work are many. A rigorous integration of phylogenetic hypotheses into studies of adaptation, adaptive radiation, and coevolution is absolutely necessary and can change dramatically our collective 'gestalt' about much in evolutionary biology. The authors advance and illustrate this thesis beautifully. The writing is often lucid, the examples are plentiful and diverse, and the juxtaposition of examples from different biological systems argues forcefully for the validity of the thesis. Many new insights are offered here, and the work is usually accessible to both the practiced phylogeneticist and the naive ecologist."—Joseph Travis, Florida State University "[Phylogeny, Ecology, and Behavior] presents its arguments forcefully and cogently, with ample . . .support. Brooks and McLennan conclude as they began, with the comment that evolution is a result, not a process, and that it is the result of an interaction of a variety of processes, environmental and historical. Evolutionary explanations must consider all these components, else they are incomplete. As Darwin's explanations of descent with modification integrated genealogical and ecological information, so must workers now incorporate historical and nonhistorical, and biological and nonbiological, processes in their evolutionary perspective."—Marvalee H. Wake, Bioscience "This book is well-written and thought-provoking, and should be read by those of us who do not routinely turn to phylogenetic analysis when investigating adaptation, evolutionary ecology and co-evolution."—Mark R. MacNair, Journal of Natural History
