The rising prevalence of dementia in the population continues to pose a serious public health challenge in both the developed and the developing world. Previous editions of Dementia have become acknowledged as a key 'gold standard' work in this field, and have had a genuinely international approach. The third edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the most recent advances in the rapidly developing field of dementia research, adding further important detail to this already authoritative and detailed text. New material on mild cognitive impairment has been included, and the latest developments in areas such as service development and carer research are also covered. All the chapters have been revised to include the most up-to-date research in their field. This is an essential work of reference for specialists in old age psychiatry, neurology, and health care of the elderly. It should also be a useful resource for others working with patients with dementia, including general practitioners, nurses, psychologists, and other allied health professionals.

Las enfermedades mentales constituyen uno de los grupos de trastornos más frecuentes y con mayor impacto negativo sobre la calidad de vida del ser humano a escala global. Una de cada tres personas sufre o ha sufrido algún tipo de trastorno psiquiátrico en el último año. Las patologías psiquiátricas, con la depresión a la cabeza, escalan cada vez puestos más altos en los listados confeccionados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud de enfermedades que generan más discapacidad y mayores costes, incluyendo entre ellos costes intangibles, como el sufrimiento del paciente y de sus familiares.
Mondéjar's work is a companion to an exhibit of the same name that opened at the C!rculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid in December 1999 and is still on tour in Europe and the United States. This single-volume history is the culmination of editor/curator Mondéjar's multivolume study of photography and Spanish society. As with Mexican Suite, this work starts with the beginnings of photography in Europe and its rapid spread and influence, covered in Part 1 (1839-1900). Part 2 (1900-39) shows more signs of political influence, and Part 3 encompasses everything from the war years through the Documentary Revival of the 1960s, to abstracts and nudes in the 1990s. Again, the images are well chosen, spanning portraits of the wealthy and records of the harsh conditions of laborers; biblical images, such as an erotic Salome, and stylized saints; and landscapes, fashion shots, and grisly scenes from the Spanish Civil War.
