520    Loss of memory and acuity is not a natural part of aging. 
       As the celebrated neurologist David Perlmutter shows, it 
       is easy to regain and maintain clarity. Most people can 
       see the signs in their lives-they canʼt remember where 
       they put their keys; they forget who it is theyʼre calling
       , mid-dial; shopping lists are the only things to indicate
       why theyʼve entered a store. But these are not normal 
       signs of aging. They are the symptoms of a distressed 
       brain, one on its way to more serious conditions that can 
       leave individuals unable to care for themselves later in 
       life.  In the Better Brain Book, Dr. Perlmutter provides 
       all the tools readers need for rejuvenating the mind, 
       whether they have become forgetful and less able to focus 
       at work or are trying to help a loved one who has suffered
       a serious illness. Book jacket.
