Annotated Bibliography

Annotated Bibliography

"About Alzheimer's Disease: Alzheimer's Basics." National Institute on Aging. Web. 16 Mar. 2012. <http://www.nia.nih.gov/alzheimers/topics/alzheimers-basics>.
A very good site to gain a rudimentary knowledge of Alzheimer’s. It is concise, yet well-written and well-organized, making it easy to understand, and easy to gain the background needed for further research. At the same time, it is complete enough for the layman who doesn’t want to get into the details, but wants acquire a basic understanding of the subject.

"Helpful Links." Reducing Risk Factors for Alzheimer's and Promoting Successful Aging. Web. 16 Mar. 2012. <http://alzprevention.org/>.
An excellent starting off place for Alzheimer’s Disease research. With a simple click of the mouse this site takes the researcher to almost anything related to this topic. I haven’t yet explored all of its possibilities, and I’m the type to be skeptical about the completeness of any one website, but for the reader looking for a one-size-fits all on Alzheimer’s, this is a good choice with which to begin.
"Memory Loss Myths & Facts | Alzheimer's Association." Alzheimer's Association. Web. 16 Mar. 2012. <http://www.alz.org/alzheimers_disease_myths_about_alzheimers.asp>.
An interesting place to discount some of the things I had taken for gospel truth related to Alzheimer’s, and I am very happy to be able to use aluminum pots again. I won’t tell all, but the reader will probably discover he or she has also been duped.

  1. I'm with you--I use my aluminum pressure cooker nearly every day.

    You do a fine job here on both bibliographic entries and annotations.
