Recenzii

"Fascinating... Green strikes just the right tone in his treatment of some especially sensitive topics. He is always respectful, with an irreverent sense of humor that does not offend."-Journal of the American Medical Association "Using an anthropological approach, Green explores the changes in the US concepts of death and practices of dying in the last several decades. Drawing on a variety of sources, he examines modern-day care for the dying, modes of disposing of the corpse, near-death experience accounts and beliefs about the afterlife, presentation of death in children's literature, and ways of memorializing the deceased... Highly recommended."-Choice "I recommend this book to all who have an academic or clinical interest in thanatology as a must-read current synthesis of the state of the art in our field."-psycCritiques "This book in my opinion is what an academic work should aim to be-accessible and intellectually appealing-while making good use of relevant contemporary examples."-Ageing and Society
