With equal mastery Shenk charts the complicated race to find a cure. As scientists pursue a treatment wirth billions of dollars, the brutal competition among them poses a serious threat to the traditional ethic of sharing vital research. But there are heartening signs of progress, and for the first time there is excitment among scientist that a cure may be indeed possible. Shenk eloquently calls Alzheimer's "death by a thousand subtractions." The Forgetting is at once a powerful examination of what this means and a forthright discussion of teh impact this epidemic will have on the life of every reader.
