The first edition of Parkinson's Disease and Nonmotor Dysfunction
was published in 2005 to provide a source of detailed information
that could be readily accessed by the practicing physician. The
widely praised first edition described and explained these nonmotor
features that had at that point received insufficient attention
both in the medical and in the lay literature. Since the
publication of the first edition, awareness and knowledge of the
nonmotor features of PD has dramatically expanded, calling for a
new edition of this important title. Timely, fully updated and
expanded, Parkinson's Disease and Nonmotor Dysfunction, Second
Edition, offers a state-of-the-art overview of the topic from the
same talented group of experienced researchers and clinicians who
were the driving force behind the first edition. Importantly, a
range of additional aspects of nonmotor dysfunction in PD -- such
as dermatological, vestibular, and dental dysfunction -- have been
included in this second edition, which remains subdivided into five
diverse domains: Behavioral abnormalities, autonomic dysfunction,
sleep-related dysfunction, sensory dysfunction, and other aspects
of PD such as oculomotor dysfunction, fatigue, and maxillofacial
issues. An invaluable contribution to the literature in movement
disorders, this revised and expanded collection of contributions by
an even larger contingent of superbly knowledgeable authors will
further increase awareness of the manifold contributions that
nonmotor features may make to the collective clinical picture
experienced by the patient with PD.
Toward the end of World War II, Hitler's many health complications
became even more pronounced, making an evil man yet more erratic
and dangerous. While the subject of Hitler's health has been
catalogued previously, never has it been done so this thoroughly or
with this level of up-to-date medical expertise. Tom Hutton's new
neurobehavioral analysis of Adolf Hitler draws from a lifetime of
medical research and clinical experience to understand how the
dictator's particular medical history further warped a deformed
personality and altered Hitler's decision making. Dr. Hutton
trained under the world-renowned neuropsychologist and father of
modern neuropsychological assessment, Dr. Alexander Luria, giving
him a uniquely qualified eye to undertake this most difficult
assessment. While many books on the subject thumb through the
annals of popular psychology to understand history's most famous
monsters, Dr. Hutton's latest book uses contemporary clinical
knowledge, lucidly synthesizing medical complexities for all
audiences. Here Dr. Hutton undertakes a thorough medical history to
elucidate a pivotal historical moment, examining how disease
impacted Hitler's destructive life.
