It is estimated that four to six million people around the world suffer from Parkinson's Disease - around 100,000 of these live in Australia. Public awareness and understanding of the disease among the general community is needed.

This book will address this with an easy to read, positive text covering the medical aspects of Parkinson's as well as incorporating the stories of sufferers, their families and carers. The book is written by professional medical journalist Gabriella Rogers and endorsed by Parkinson's Australia, bringing together a formal medical perspective with a more personal one, to provide a comprehensive look at the disease from all angles.
