About this title: Dr. Snowdon's research on Alzheimer's brings to light not only advancements in the prevention of this disease, but also some of the inspiring stories of his subjects--the 678 Catholic Sisters he studied over a ten year period. His work is as much about the philosophy of aging as it is about the process.
