Horn Book Review
One common foreword and a short introduction specific to each volume lead to chapters defining the disorder and explaining diagnosis, treatment, and current research. The writing is straightforward and factual but not particularly engaging; some books offer occasional personal anecdotes or quotes from patients. Most of the accompanying photographs are generic or incongruous, some distractingly so. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Diseases & Disorders titles: Dementia, Childhood Obesity, Amnesia, Phobias, Anxiety Disorders, and Hodgkin's Disease.] (c) Copyright 2010.
