Grade 5-8Although most readers will find this book useful only for reports, it would be helpful to those who have family members afflicted with this motor disorder. Landau explains the symptoms of Parkinsons disease, from tremors and rigidity to emotional changes and speech problems, and discusses the difficulty of diagnosing it. Although its cause is not known, researchers speculate that it could be environmental, viral, or even a result of the aging process. Treatment options range from medication to brain surgery to the controversial fetal tissue transplant, and Landau carefully explains both sides of that issue. The author has crafted another well-written, well-organized overview.Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, NY
