簡介(Book Description from Google)：
The Behavioral Neurology of Dementia is a comprehensive textbook that offers a unique and modern approach to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with dementing conditions in the twenty-first century. The coverage is broad, ranging from common conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinsonian disorders, vascular and frontotemporal dementia, to the more obscure such as Jakob-Creutzfeldt disease. Subtypes of mild cognitive impairment are presented and the early prodromes of neurodegenerative diseases are explored. Simple approaches to bedside mental status testing, differential diagnosis and treatment, genetic testing, interpreting neuropsychological testing and neuroimaging findings, and assessing rapidly progressive dementias, paraneoplastic syndromes, and disorders of white matter give guidance to both the novice and expert in dementia. The basic science of dementia is outlined in introductory chapters on animal models of dementia, dementia epidemiology and dementia neuropathology.

Practical, useful, clinical
Specialists in behavioral neurology and neuropsychology will get a lot out of this book, as I did. It covers all the dementia syndromes from the biological, genetic, neuropsychological and behavioral points of view. Books in this area can be divided into two group: those aimed primarily at researchers, and those aimed primarily at practitioners. Research-oriented books are typically heavily referenced and include exhaustive detail even when it is not relevant to current practice. Practice-oriented books typically offer briefer summaries that try to separate out those facts and issues most useful when dealing with patients, and will gloss over or omit details of research if they don't have any relevance to clinical work. This is the latter type of book, and that's exactly what I was looking for. If you are as well, this book is a good option.
