The Perfect Publication for Student and Layman Alike
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
While I am an undergraduate student in psychology, I have been blessed with a highly supportive professor that permitted me entrance into his Introduction to Thanatology graduate course. This book allowed me an immediate understanding that was both in depth and easy to digest. Many texts on the subject of death and dying skirt the subject with veiled euphemisms. They often attempt to soften the reality of death in both its physical nature and historical context, however, this publication does neither. It is direct, informative, and, even for a required reading, difficult to put down. It says quite a bit about the authors of this book that they not only come so highly recommended by my professor (who is also a published author in this field), but also by the group of students being tested on its content. Very well done!
Excellent 'Keeper'
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The authors have done an excellent job presenting a difficult and complex topic. Their discussions of the historical, multicultural, and life cycle attitudes toward death and dying are important contributions to the literature. The two negative reviews here by students are perplexing. Indeed, this book may be one of the best available for the classroom. Too, if you're looking for an excellent bibliography on the subject, this is the book to use.
this book is excellent

I am a medical social worker on a Unit which has a high mortality rate because of the nature of the illness for which patients are admitted. I have also lectured on "Death and Dying." I have found this book to be of immense value: accurate, well-written and direct. I often recommend it to my students and colleagues. I don't recommend sitting down and reading it cover to cover. I find it is much more helpful to choose the chapters most relevant for my purpose (an individual patient or situation; research, etc.) I definitely recommend it.
