  • 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.
