- This stimulating new book provides a sophisticated introduction
to the key issues in the sociology of death and dying.
- Despite widespread interest across the social sciences in these
issues of late, most textbooks have been written with the needs of
health professionals in mind.
- Provides a cutting edge, comprehensive discussion of the key
topics in death and dying and demonstrates that the study of
mortality is relevant to all areas of sociology.
- The book is organised thematically, utilising empirical
material from cross-national and cross-cultural perspectives.
- Particular appeal to upper-level sociology students, as well as professionals whose work brings them into contact with dying or bereaved people.
