New edition of a text which examines our relationship to death by drawing upon scholarship and research as well as on the words of people who have found themselves in the middle of death-related situations. Fifteen chapters discuss subjects including the death system, causes of death, transition from life, hospice care, AIDS, suicide, grief, the funeral process, and violent, assisted, and childhood death. They conclude with a discussion of whether we survive death, and the promise of death education and counseling. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
