| Summary |
"In this work, Rosenbaum blends historical and medical research with illustrations from the patients in his professional life, and from his father on the homefront, to give us a clear and comprehensive understanding of Parkinson's. He also includes comments and writings from well-known individuals affected by this disorder - among them former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, Actor Michael J. Fox, and Pope John Paul II."--BOOK JACKET |
