Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative and irreversible brain disorder that causes significant neurological impairment. The condition is closely associated with ageing, and it is estimated that 2-5% of people over 65 years of age and up to 20% of those over 85 years of age suffer from the disease. Although the disorder is well characterised neuropathologically, accurate diagnosis can be problematic for the clinician.
Part of the Oxford Neuropsychiatry Library series, this practical pocketbook will summarise the latest understanding of the possible causes of the disease, the methods of diagnosis and assessment, and current management techniques. The book will also include helpful chapters on supporting the patient/caregiver and safety/legal issues.
This is a tremendous short introduction to the subject of AD, or a stimulating refresher for those requiring an update.
