Written by a Speech-Language Pathologist, the books incorporate research-based activities to stimulate word-finding. Regardless of the level of difficulty, the games provide essential calisthenics to keep the mind active. Unlike most Alzheimer's books aimed at caregivers, these are designed to be completed independently by individuals in mild to moderate stages, giving them an opportunity for enjoyable leisure-time activity and a sense of pride and accomplishment. When shared with caregivers, family or friends, meaningful interaction is automatic. Individual game items provide a springboard to reminisce about fond memories and create positive feelings. The series offers activity directors or recreation therapists a wealth of ready-made content to incorporate into group activities. The level of difficulty, based on vocabulary, varies from the simplest in Volume I to the most advanced in Volume III. Answers are provided at the back of the first two issues and following each game in the last issue. Each book, containing 70 to 80 games, is sold at a more affordable price than similar products. The up-to-date, recent releases receive positive user reviews on web-sites such as Amazon.com.

Mary Randolph (1762- 1828) wrote The Virginia House-Wife (1824), one of the most influential housekeeping and cookbooks of the nineteenth century. Randolph tried to improve women's lives by limiting the time they had to spend in their kitchens. She gave her readers many inexpensive ingredients that could be used to make impressive meals. She popularized over 40 vegetables and introduced several foreign meals. She was the first recorded person to be buried at what became Arlington National Cemetery.

Originally published in 1838, Randolph's work is more than just a regional cookbook. While gathering the best of Southern cooking, it also gives a picture of dishes that were popular around the country at the time. Reflecting the influence of cuisines from other cultures, The Virginia Housewife preserves the multiethnic flavors of American cuisine of the 1830s. The recipes will be a delight to modern cooks-especially the 22 flavors of ice cream
