Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
For those who wish to confront the fear of dying, Death and Afterlife is the scientifically objective place to start. Biochemical researcher Brian Innes has compiled a handsomely designed coffee table compendium of everything you ever wanted to know about death, and then some. From the philosophical to the religious, the biological to the mythological, the psychological to the legal, Innes covers it all. Topics include euthanasia, suicide, reincarnation, memorials, necromancy, and epitaphs, just to mention a few. Heavy doses of art and literature as man considers the subject throughout the ages act to engage and sober the reader. Hamlet ponders, "To die, to sleep. To sleep perchance to dream; aye, there's the rub"; Giovanni Boccaccio depicts the grimacing Black Death of the 14th century; and John Donne admonishes, "never send to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee". --P Randall Cohan

Product Description
A comprehensive look at one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: what is death and what happens to us after we are dead? In the process, the volume presents the arguments for and against life after death, and discusses the afterlife as it is envisioned in countries around the world and across the ages, from Mexico's Day of the Dead to Victorian funeral customs; from the tombs of the pharaohs to cryogenics; and from the Tibetan Book of the Dead to the visions of heaven and hell found in the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Death was never meant to be a pleasant subject., 9 Jan 2001
At first I was sceptic towards this book. Most books on the subject of Death and Afterlife fail to keep an objective point of view and are coloured by the author's religious beliefs. However, this book pleasantly surprised me. It starts with a discussion around the definition of death and then goes through all forms of Death (violent, suicide, euthanasia etc) to what lies beyond. I enjoyed that book, although I think that some people may find some photos disturbing. But, in the long run, Death was never meant to be a pleasant subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive study of something that concerns us all, 30 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I read Innes work while doing a dissertation of Heaven and Hell and found it to be invaluable. Innes takes on the whole subject of death, the afterlife and the corresponding beliefs that surround them with sensitivity and a degree of humour. It is a must for those who want to know 'what happens next', if indeed anything does.
