Summary: An increase in average life expectancy has given rise to a number of pressing health challenges for the 21st century. Age-related memory loss, whether due to a neurodegenerative condition such as Alzheimer's disease, or as a product of the normal process of aging, is perhaps the most significant of the health problems of old age presently confronting our society. 'The Preservation of Memory' explores non-invasive, empirically sound strategies that can be implemented to ensure long-lasting and effective retention of information.
