Review:

"Although I have had many years caring for my husband who has Parkinson's Disease, and as a result know quite a lot about the illness, I found much helpful information in your book. It is very easy to read and comprehend, and shows a deep understanding for the problems of both the patients and their carers. My husband has just returned from a spell in hospital and as a result is on Apomorphine, which I have to inject several times during the day. Your chapter on this drug is of great value to me. I would recommend the book to anyone who is in any way concerned with the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. I have even bought our GP a copy fro a Christmas present!" -- Thelma Bennett, Hornby

"In my opinion, the format and presentation cannot be improved upon, and I particularly like the glossary, appendices, and the very comprehensive index." -- Dr Lloyd Frost, Leeds
