Benson's bibliography is a valuable contribution to the study of the dying child and the sensitive issues that the family, medical staff, school personnel, and others must face when confronted with this challenge. Comprehensive annotations, some as lengthy as a full page of text, give the essence of the article and its intended use. . . .
