Another new book on Parkinson's Disease has been published this month - "A Life Shaken : My encounter with Parkinson's Disease" by Joel Havemann, published by Johns Hopkins University Press. Havemann is an editor for the LA Times' Washington D.C. bureau, a young onset PWP, and a truly gifted writer. I started reading the book last night and couldn't put it down. The author relates his personal story about life with PD, about coping as a family, and keeping up with a demanding job, intertwined with engrossing facts on the history of PD, brain physiology, treatment, research, and more. I could easily recognize and identify with many of the reactions and emotions Havemann described when first diagnosed and as the disease progressed. Readers may also be surprised to discover accounts about some long-time Parkinsn list members -- I won't tell which ones -- Read the book! I highly recommend this book to both the newly diagnosed and "veteran" PWP - we can all learn a great deal from it, and it is a great read as well. The book is available on Amazon.
