Partial View : An Alzheimer's Journal Book

In 1985 Cary Henderson, a history professor, learned he had Alzheimer's disease. Frustrated by his failing memory and his physical inability to write, he began to use a tape recorder. The recorder became his confidant and his means for reaching out to communicate not only with his family but also with others afflicted with the disease. In describing his narrowing world, Cary hoped to help other Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers cope with and understand the disease.
