Ageing, Neuropsychology and the 'New' Dementias
Up to the 1990s, the influence of brain function disturbances and causes of dementia in the elderly had mostly been overlooked as a possible explanation for antisocial or unusual behaviour. As a result, these had tended not to be included in assessment and training programmes. Originally published in 1995, Ageing, Neuropsychology and the ‘New’ Dementias introduces the concepts of neuropsychology and behaviour and the recent research on dementia to equip the professional user with the most up-to-date knowledge of these influences on ageing. This practical resource fills the gaps in knowledge and practice by providing a wealth of explanations, suggestions for assessments and approaches to common problems encountered with this age group. Chapters focus on such issues as: recognizing the problems of head injuries, misinterpreted behaviour and impairments to brain function; re-examining the concept of dementia; management, rehabilitation and training; community care. This text would be invaluable to nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and other health professionals working with the elderly.
The Tragedy of the Chain Pier
ÊMost visitors to Brighton prefer the new pier; it is altogether a more magnificent affair. It is in the fashionable town, for fashion will go westward; it is larger, more commodious, more frequented. Go to the West Pier when you will, there is always something to see; beautiful women, pretty girls, fashionable belles promenade incessantly. There are times when it is crowded, and there is even a difficulty in making room for all who come. No wonder the elite of Brighton like the West Pier; it is one of the most enjoyable spots in England; every luxury and comfort is there; a good library, plenty of newspapers, elegant little shops, excellent refreshment rooms, fine music; and then the lovel...

Grown at Glen Garden
In Grown at Glen Garden, the early friendship of Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson is shown, from their caddying days at Glen Garden Country Club to their chummy rivalry at the Masters decades later. With a peek at their family backgrounds, the story shows both the hardships and joys of growing up and learning to golf in Fort Worth, Texas, in the 1920s. The two golf pros were not alike in personality; Hogan was always a quiet and private person, whereas Nelson had a reputation for being very friendly and open. Hogan and Nelson grew close due to their shared passion for golf, their later professional careers, and the friendship between their wives, Valerie Hogan and Louise Nelson. Today, Hogan leaves behind a legacy as the greatest known ball striker and the second player to win all four of the major golf championships, and Byron Nelson is known for his gentlemanly conduct (leading to the nickname “Lord Byron”) and an unbeaten eleven-tournament streak with eighteen total wins in 1945. Follow these golfing stars from their early days in the sport to their successful pro careers, and meet the people behind the legends.
