| Publisher Description: This 28 page book is aimed at patients with early stage dementia who like reading but find it hard to follow 'normal' books. With plenty of color photographs and brief technical descriptions in large print, this book looks at American cars of the 1950s. All the popular makes are included, such as Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Pontiac and Plymouth. The book is intended to help stimulate long-term memories and promote conversations with relatives or carers. It does not mention dementia or memory loss, or anything that could cause distress or embarrassment to patients, and it is written in a simple but not childish style. It can equally be enjoyed by those without memory loss, for example, grandparents reading together with grandchildren to help them learn about cars in the 'old days'. |
