Encyclopedia of DeathRobert Kastenbaum, Beatrice Kastenbaum Bloomsbury Academic, 1989-09-18 - 295 psl. A broad range of information is offered in some 130 articles, though the editors make no claims of comprehensiveness.

Among the topics covered: cremation, death anxiety, funerals, grief, living wills, mortality rate, murder, near-death experiences, stillbirth, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, as well as periodicals and organizations covering death and dying. Each entry carries references. A fine reference for a wide audience. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
