Product Description
Review
`Walter has an accessible and engaging style which draws the reader effortlessly into his discussion of the complexities surrounding the ways in which our society does - and does not - deal with death, dying and bereavement. ... After reading Walter's critique of some of the accepted wisdom which inform current practice, practitioners may be forced to reconsider the validity of their assumptions.' - David Field, Senior Lecturer in Medical Sociology, the University of Leicester
Product Description
The current revival of interest in death seeks ultimate authority in the individual self. This is the first book to comprehensively examine this revival and relate it to theories of modernity and postmodernity.
