This guide provides practical advice to people who think they are losing their memory; to people who are losing their memory; and to those who care for them as well. The authors expose the myths and the reality of ageing and memory loss.

Winner, Australasian Journal on Aging Book Award 1999 I can't believe it - I've given the same present to my brother two years running. It was such a good idea that I thought of it again! Half the time I can't remember the names of people I see every day. I'm beginning to think I'm losing my marbles. How does memory change as we grow older, and what can we do about it? This is the question at the heart of Remembering Well. Drawing on many people's experiences, the book - explains how memory works and what factors affect it - like hearing and stress. - explores what is part of normal memory change over the years and what is not. - and presents strategies for managing these changes well.
