Understanding Dementia

Does anyone have a book they could recommend which would teach me more about Dementia? I don't need a book for caretakers as I am not in that position. But I would like to know more specifics about the condition, if that is possible.
Someone mentioned in a post, Frontal Lobe Dementia. I know my FIL executive function is very impaired, but his long term memory is in tact. So I would like to understand that condition a little better.
Thanks, I am so grateful for a space to write about this!

It's the most informative book I've found. Very helpful to us MIL stage 6/7.
