This fascinating and comprehensive work comes highly recommended by Booklist, Library Journal and others. It examinse dying from the viewpoints of Anthropology, Family Studies, History, Law, Medicine, Mortuary Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Social work
Sociology and Theology. Dying is a social as well as physiological phenomenon. Each society characterizes and consequently, treats death and dying in its own individual ways.
