In the foreword, Williams shares his childhood fascination with puzzles and the magazine Highlights for Children. As a geriatrician, he continues to be delighted by careful observation. He offers varied and numerous examples of how an astute clinician can gather essential data from simple matters such as clothing, self-care, and patterns of shoe wear. From the odor of one's breath to the stains on one's underwear, Williams finds important diagnostic clues that are frequently unrecognized or overlooked.
